Sorry i have been 'missing' for so long. Here is my latest thin curf knot. It's cherry with a dyed maple inlay and 8 bands.
Thanks for looking

That is cool!!!.

Did you turn the blank round first, or cut to an octagonal shape first??

That is excellent work.....

My first attempt was to cut an octagon but I only have a band saw and so could not get an accurate shape, a table saw would probebly have given a better result. I then turned a cylinder and using my indexing ring marked the 8 segments. This method was better but the position of the blank for cutting was less than perfect. So the next attempt I turned the cylinder and marked the segments and then drilled small holes to take a pin which gave me a positive locator for each cut and resulted in the above pen. I will photograph the process the next time and post the pics.

Very nice looking pen David. I like your workaround solution with a pin locater. Hat's off to your perseverance as well!

 

[gwilki]

Excellent work, David. I've done several 6's. Now, I have a new challenge.

 

[karlkuehn]

Wow, nice work! You nailed the center drilling on that one, didn't you? That knot looks about perfect from here. Well done!

Wow, quite impressive. I do a single band, so I guess it isn't a knot.
