Celtic Narra

[wolftat]

This is one that I made while trying to get my jig working properly. I finally beat the jig with a 4x4 and did the cutting freehand on my bandsaw. The wood is Narra with maple inlays, The kit is a platinum Jr. Gent, and the finish is a whole lot of coats of CA.

Wow - freehand?

Very nice! I really like the color combo.

Looks good. I can't believe that you can do that freehand on a bandsaw. I do mine on a table saw with an Incra Miter Express and still screw it up most of the time.

THAT , suckers nice ! Who needs a jig ? I can contract Neil to cut my inlays ! :biggrin: Nice work Neil . Great looking woods .

Freehand?? Damn! Nice work

 

[wolftat]

Thank you, it was actually easier for me to do it freehand than it was fiddling around with my jig. The jig is now firewood and this is the first of three that I di, I haven't turned the others yet..

Very impressive Neil. Especilly impressive that you did it freehand. I've only tried a Celtic knot once and it was a disaster.

I only do celtic loose ends. squiggly celtic loose ends.

Funny thing, I just found out that the jig was actually okay, it was a problem with the slot in my saw. :redface: It felt good to smash something anyways.

Nice pen Neil, I kind of figured you just liked beating something up and having fun .

Great job Neil . I can't get a good knot with jig and you are doing it freehand AAARRRGH!!!

 

[wolftat]

Butch, get rid of the jig, it worked for me (you can use any 4x4 to smash with).

Wow that is cool. Is it easier to on a bandsaw then a tablesaw?

 

[workinforwood]

Awesome..that's a great color combo and excellent looking knot. I freehand mine too, but with the miter saw. Yours is better though..it's thinner.

Wow that is cool. Is it easier to on a bandsaw then a tablesaw?

For me it is easier to do on a bandsaw since I don't have a tablesaw set up right now.
