First Celtic Knot...

[Timbo]

I made this pen about a month ago. It was actually my first pen to include a Celtic Knot. I couldn't just stop at two segments, I had to do four. I had some figured Beeswing Narra bottle stopper blanks that I cut the blanks from. The knot is Padauk. The pen shimmers with a deep iridescent shine when tilted in the light. I think the satin gold kit compliments it well. Comments please...

Nice work Tim. Your knots sure line up better than my first try at a celtic knot. If I might make a suggestion, I find the thinner knots look a bit more elegant. You can pick up a Freud Diablo blade for a circular saw from one of the big box stores. They are about $15 or so. The kerf on those saws is 1/16" and you will be able to make a thinner segment with that. The saws cut very nice as well.

Nice looking pen. Good job on the knot. My first one went in the trash.

Beautiful pen, fit and finish looks to be spot on! The knot is perfect and the timber combinations works well.

Good work, I agree a thinner knot would look better![]
