I finally got some time in my shop this afternoon and made these two right from scratch.
I believe I am catching on how to make these Celtic knots quite a bit faster and with much better accuracy than my earlier ones.
I could show pictures of them from all sides and the knots are equal and symmetrical all around.
I had bought these solid color acrylic blanks some time ago with the idea of using them for this purpose.
A friend sent me some triple layer pick guard material and I wanted to try it out. .
I know some are going to say it has to be wood and I also love wood but in my area acrylics are about equal for sales as wood is. Ones that are not using acrylics as well as wood could very well be missing out on some good sales. .
As long as it is not wild pattern acrylics that distract from the knot I believe these solid color ones will be as well accepted as my wood ones. .
The top wine colored one is a Sierra Vista and the black one is a regular Vista. Both are basically the same kit except for the Vista is a larger diameter which has the ability to show off the knot a little better.
