I was surfing the net a while back just to look for new ideas and found a photo of a segmented blank that interests me. All good so far except for two things. 1, I don't remember where I saw it and 2, couldn't figure out how it was made. If anyone has info on this blank I'd love to make one. If the maker reads this I just want to thank you for posting it Great Job!

Dale I would have thought if anyone could figure out the method, you would be it. Did you not do a blank similar to this if I remember correctly.

If I were to guess, it looks like the inner portion is 2 rings of half a celtic knot. Then the outer ring is cut at a different angle an wider to intersect the center half knots. You cut the outer section using the 2 opposite half steps of the celtic knot. In other words 1-3 inner and 2-4 outer. May take some trys.

I had to look for this.

It's nice.
It looks like three sets of inlays: the two inner pairs are identical and offset from each other, like 1 & 3 from Celtic knots with a steep angle.
The third looks like the main pair of a Celtic knot done at a shallower angle.

The fit is excellent.

Might have to give this a go. 😉
 
I've looked for a source - no luck. Pondered the construction - no luck. Will be an interesting challenge; reminds me when the IAP community was trying to figure out the 360 degree herringbone construction.
 
What I am also thinking is do not go all the way through the blanks as you do with a Celtic knot on the inside cuts. This way the cuts do not show on the sides. Something along this line.

That is an interesting variant of the celtic knot. I suspect it is two blanks. An "inner" blank with the center portion and an "outer" blank with the surround.

This is what CoPilot is telling me this is. 2 blanks. But CoPilot is telling me that I am the most likely candidate to have made this. I can tell you that is not true.

I am with you Mark. No idea how to make this design. Can't wait to find out . Does Copilot know what you are doing ? How about me ?
