Our Last Meeting
Last month, Mike McReynolds demonstrated and explained how he makes and turns the Celtic Knot design in his woodturning. The explanation also covered straight parallel designs.
Mike first displayed some examples including some story sticks he had made showing the different effects of different angles and sizes.
He explained how that most of the time spent in turning the designs is obviously the time preparing the work pieces on the table saw, band saw and in gluing.

After all the inserts are glued up the turning process may begin. Remember that accuracy is very important in the setup, cutting and glue up phase.
He rough turned the first Celtic knot design then rough turned another straight design piece.
