Greetings all.
I'm looking to make sure I've got this down before starting on my first celtic knot pen, so I'd love to lean on the experience of those who have already tread this path....
Having read the tutorials, I understand the need for the knot material to be same width as the kerf of the saw blade if one doesn't cut all the way through the blank. I also get the advantages of not cutting all the way through.
I'm thinking that I'm not always going to want my knot to be .094 (or any given kerf width) wide. I'm also thinking, that if one were to cut all the way through the blank, while it'd be trickier to glue it all up, that the thickness of the knot material would no longer matter, and could be any thickness, so long as it was the same for each segment of the knot.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Sam
