celtic knot

Hey guys, I hope you're doing well, I'm super excited to share the latest that I've created with Holly, Maple, and some dyed veneer! I really obsess about symmetry in my pens and I'm happy to say that my attempt at making 12 cuts for this knot ended with stunning accuracy as a result of my...

Tried my hand at a Celtic Knot pen the other day. Made from firewood black walnut and maple (need to stop stealing from the wood pile 😅). Lots of learnings but overall pretty happy as a first attempt. Also first time using Shellawax and EEE, yeah, like those a lot. Kit: Vertex Click from Rockler

This was my second attempt with a six ring. The first ended tragically with a sever case of CA glue disease. The pen was made from northern Indiana mystery wood with a Padauk knot. I was happy with my workmanship but not so happy with the pen. I saw this knot in the wood before I started and...

After looking at YouTube videos, reading forums and looking at step-by-step directions that people had posted on the internet, then trying it for myself and messing a few up I finally finished one. Got it down now. The pen is a comfort pen kit from Penn State Industries. The blank is walnut...
