I posted this rather chaotic looking blank the other day, turned it tonight. It turned out wonderfully, and I think a surprise to most of you. The only difference is, you were looking at a 6 sided knot cut into a square blank rather than a round one.

Came out wonderfully. For material choice too.

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing Ken! The 6-sided knot looks awesome.

As I thought about your jig I thought it would be possible to cut a square blank with it. That's what I did with my five strand knot. Well done.
I wanted to give it a try. Certainly doable, but starting with a round blank is easier when it come to putting in the infill. I'll stick to the round method.

Wow, that came out beautifully, and so precise! I can't wrap my brain around how you calculated the cut angles to do that on a square blank.
My jig did all the calculating

I just saw that in Steve's post with the 5 sided knot. It does make an interesting pattern on a square blank. I must have missed it when you posted about it.My jig did all the calculating
I was really surprised how fast the actual pattern emerged when I started turning it.

Interesting; I'm pretty sure that a calculation would be possible. BUT much easier to use a round blank.
