Celtic Knot Ornament

Brazilian Cherry, & Sycamore Ornament
2 3/4" Dia. x 7 1/2" tall, 2 3/4 oz.
This is my first Celtic Knot ornament and my first Finial of any kind. I am not a hollower, so this is a bit thicker, and therefore heavier than it could be. I did enjoy this challange, thanks for looking.

I have a cheap hollower but it only blows things up so Congrats on the efforts. Your design is great! I especially like the segment details above & below the ball. I printed a picture of about 20 nice finials once and I use it to help me visualize different options when I make one.

Nice job on the knot. I tried one recently too. They are a good deal of work but they sure are impressive when you finish.

Live long, love lots, and turn fast.

Yup, very nicely done, Ed. Thumbs Up!

Ruining lots of good wood to get a few average bits.

Thanks, guys.
I think i'll be making some more soon so I can refine them a bit. They are fun to make.
