Woodturning Segmented Bowl With Celtic Style Inserts

In past videos, I have explored variations on Celtic knots far beyond the traditional four loop Celtic knot found on spindles: -Varying the number of loops 3,4,5,6... -Celtic knots on spindles using the table saw; -Celtic knots on vases using the bandsaw; -and now Celtic knots on a bowl. A Celtic knot from square spindle stock is the simplest of all variations. This bowl is not a spindle and is absolutely not square. I have found three principles that, if adhered to, enable a perfect knot. Since a knot has many intersections, a perfect knot has perfect alignment at intersections. - Indexing for repeatable cuts; - Replacing the removed wood exactly; - Maintaining exact positioning when inserting splines. Jigs are essential to this process. Enjoy. p.s. If you would like a more in depth demonstration, please contact me for an IRD (Zoom Demo) on this or other topics. Blog: FB: http
