It's a triquetra. I have a tatoo of it. One of the symbols of and emotion. I think you'd need to start with a blank that's triangular. 3 60 degree corners. That will give you three even rings but they won't be pointed at the tips like that .Oh right (brain fog) this is the knot I meant:
celtic knot with three points

OK. Round blank on three 120 degree rotation
Here is what the Trinity knot looks like on sample wood.
Oak blank with redwood inserts.
Round blank-cut at 52 degrees- on 120 degree rotation. Three cuts.

KEN: you are right, but it does grow on you after a bit of time. Now I got a real olive wood blank with Wenge - Maple inserts in the mill.
Finished pen will look much better than this test one.
