I believe is my first double Celtic knot. For whatever reason, this one was very hard to photograph. This one is flawless and the precision is spot on. It's a Liberty click from Mckenzie Penworks. Wood is Cumuru with vulcanized fiber paper as the infill.

Will you be offering these blanks on your site as well?? Nice work all around. One of these days I need to give these a try. Also have to try your inlay material. Gives alot of options in color choices. Plus thin enough for accent lines on other projects other than pens such as boxes. Nice job.
I'm thinking about adding some of these but I worry that they might be too fragile for some turners. This one though, turned very easily.

Now that I'm able to get back into the shop you are putting up posts which challenge me to up my game. Did you cut them 1,1,3,3,2,2,4,4 or 1,3,2,4,1,3,2,4?
1,1-3,3-2,2-4,4

I believe there is a multiknot tutorial in the library if I remember correctly. Name slips my mind for writer. But you see many of those and believe he entered a contest with one.
They're really not any different than a regular knot except, obviously, you make two cuts in each face.

Beautiful work!! I'm guessing you used one of your impressive home made jigs?
Yup, same one as regular knots.

Yes there is. I'll see if I can find it. DO NOT TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY. THIS BLANK IS EXCEPTIONAL! But, I would consult the tutorial on the cut order so the "X" weaves itself under the circle by altering the cut order. My Avatar was done before that tutorial helped me figure that out, hense the one lower left branch should be UNDER that oval.
VERY NICE WORK!!

Ooo! Is there any chance there is a post or link to your homemade jig?
Yes I fully understand how the cut order affects the knot. I prefer them the way I made this one. Either way is ok, this though is my preference.Yes there is. I'll see if I can find it.

Very attractive blank and good turning. The second knot adds significantly more attractiveness than i would have thought without seeing it.
