Surfing around another WW site yesterday, I found a link to video of an 11 year old boy turning a celtic knot pen. The video was a class project that he shot and edited himself. In a word, AMAZING! I did a keychain and a slimline as practice yesterday, and below is the cigar pen I turned today. I'm happy with the results. The woods are cherry and walnut.
Motivated by an 11 year old!

he's been in the local newspaper and next Tuesday he will be on the local television news!
Here is a shot of his latest Celtic Knot. It is a European style pen in big leaf maple burl with a walnut and aluminum knot.
Alex started turning pens about 18 months ago as a means to raise money for college.

George,
Your son puts me so shame!
But I must say, I've never seen a video on how to do a celtic knot, and it looks a lot easier than I thought it was. (not easy, mind you. easier).
I have got to try that myself, but I'll have to use my tablesaw since my bandsaw is definitey not ready to be set up yet.
Thanks for the link Bluzcat!Comment
