This is excellent. Can you tell me what you used to cut the acrylic blank into the pieces you needed for the knot? They are perfectly uniform. Thanks,

Beautiful Pen Jason.
Magnificent Series of Celtic Knots,
Superb Proportions, Cuts, and Joints.
Excellent Consistency of Knot Segments, and Cuts.
Nicely Turned, Fitted and Finished.
Congratulations,
Brian.

It's not acrylic, it's a triple dyed burl of some type.

Well done! You've got the hang of it.
Here's a challenge. Make four knots, but rotate the blank one side for each knot spacing. For example, number each side from 1 to 4. Have 1 face up, cut and fill in the first kerf. Then have 2 face up, advance the kerf to the second knot position in the series, cut and fill in the second kerf. Then have 3 face up, advance the kerf to the third knot position in the series, cut and fill in the third kerf. Then have 4 face up, advance the kerf to the fourth knot position in the series, cut and fill in the fourth kerf.
Next, go back to knot position 1, cut the kerf in the opposite of face 1, and fill. Proceed through the rest of the knots in the same manner, always adjusting the knot position to the corresponding face.
You'll end up with a fantastically intricate knot, without the noticeable parallelism. Thin knot material will look best for that technique.
Keep experimenting.

Would love to see one, have you done one?
Thanks,
