Segmented Slimline

[toyotaman]

This is a Chrome slimline. The wood is Sycamore and Walnut. The blank took about 2 days to make but turned out quite well. It's finished with 8 coats of CA.

It is an interesting design. Can you explain the making of it somewhat??/ Are we looking at a Celtic Knot at extreme angles???

Pretty cool Donny!! Not an easy trick to pull off with something so thin.

I found the center of the blank (It started out 3/4 x 5) 2 1/2" and the center thickness @ 3/8". I then measured 1/8" from each end. I drawed a line from there to the other line on the other end (not crossing the center line). Bandsaw from one end to the other. I used Titebond II to glue in a thin piece of walnut. Once dried do the other side the same way working your way around the entire piece. Once finished you should have like a long "Bowed" X all the way down the blank on all four sides. I cut the blank in half at the center using a bandsaw. Drill and turn. It's not hard, it's just time consuming waiting on the glue to dry.
