Woodturning Segmented Bowl With Celtic Style Inserts

https://www.AsWoodTurns.com

In past videos, I have explored variations on Celtic knots far beyond the traditional four loop Celtic knot found on spindles:
-Varying the number of loops 3,4,5,6...
-Celtic knots on spindles using the table saw;
-Celtic knots on vases using the bandsaw;

-and now Celtic knots on a bowl.

A Celtic knot from square spindle stock is the simplest of all variations. This bowl is not a spindle and is absolutely not square.

I have found three principles that, if adhered to, enable a perfect knot. Since a knot has many intersections, a perfect knot has perfect alignment at intersections.
Indexing for repeatable cuts;
Replacing the removed wood exactly;
Maintaining exact positioning when inserting splines.

Jigs are essential to this process.

Enjoy.
