Thanks to all, and to Jeff. This pen would not have been possible with out inspiration from KenB259 and his sending me pictures of his jig. Check out the posts that inspired me:

Celtic Knots Revisited

I have sold quite a few of these sets. I call them wedding pens, they are mirror images of each other. I am thinking of selling blank sets on Etsy but haven’t got them made yet. I made these for examples. Woods in these are Santos Mahogany and Aniegre.

Stabilized,Dyed and Celtic

Celtic knots are my favorite blanks to make. I bought a blade with a .072 kerf, and wanted to see how that thickness looks in a knot. I’m quite happy with it. The woods are spalted maple and holly. The knot was cut at 55° using the 1,3,2,4 cut sequence. The pen is a Super Button Click. Comments...

Double Celtic Knot

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.
