I've been laid up with a herniated disc since mid June but was able to get back to the shop this week and turned out this Celtic knot. The wood is stabilized canary wood.
First pen since May

Glad the back has improved to get you back into the shop. The canary wood is so "tweet."

Good accurate job, Steve.
Look after the back...it's the only one you get...this side of the river.

Great job. I am amazed with the way segmenters can visualize the end result when working with a square blank.

The Celtic knot are shown here often, so just following the tutorials will get you a similar look. The real difficulty is envisioning something that hasn't been done before.

In this case I used two different materials. For the knot I used pick guard material apparently no longer carried by exotic blanks. Since I ran out of that material, I used black and white veneer which I glued together to form the other highlights. If you look closely at the second picture you can detect the wood grain, especially on the white! It is not easily visible without the magnification available in a photo.
