In this video, I show you how to lay out and hand carve a Celtic knot design.

Holy crap you have way more patience than I do! Excellent work man. That carve is beautiful!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks Dan! When do you get to drill for water?

[@nonolaporte3195]

The best explanation of grain direction I ever heard. Thanks a million for this !

[@KingBespokeCreations]

My pleasure! Happy carving 👍

[@adairguitars]

The colours of the woods, paint and burning all work perfectly together. And the resin makes it all shine. Brilliant work!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks chief!

[@afterlifeguitars]

Nice touch adding the last bit of carving. Makes it pop

[@martinlouden9005]

Wow Chris, you must have the patience of a saint! Great result. And I'll say it again, I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

😂 I honestly can’t write with both hands, but knives and chisels seem easier 🤷‍♂️

[@BBGuitars]

The patience of a saint, I was getting stressed just thinking about doing it...

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Take your time, you’ll be done when you done!

[@TornelliGuitars]

[@KingBespokeCreations]

That was 8hours work!

Thank you 😊

[@brettmeldahl4456]

Every time he goes in for a scary move I feel the anxiety of every time i ever went in for one.

[@kluivertmenezes]

Hey man Amazing work !!
Please use some kind of jig for the UV light it can be extremely harmful to your skin

[@KingBespokeCreations]

It’s used for 1-1/2mins to set the resin. And is actually from a hand nail set.

[@bhartissimo]

That carve looks good. How long do you need to hold the UV light over each part of the resin to let it set?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

It only takes about 1-1/2mins to set!

[@bhartissimo]

@@KingBespokeCreations Wow, that's fast!

[@afterlifeguitars]

How long did it take you Chris? I'd be at that for days lol love the gold against the black

[@KingBespokeCreations]

That was 8hours work!

[@afterlifeguitars]

@@KingBespokeCreations 8 hours! So yeah hats off to you. Nice job 👍

[@dakaraius]

Not watched it yet but you might want to check to spelling on the chapters. 'and ding resin'

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks 🤦‍♂️

[@timhallas4275]

Since you filled it with resin anyway, why not just router out the space and drop in a real braided rope, then fill that up with resin?? Oooo, imagine that look.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Could have been an option, tricky holdi g the rope in place though? Plus, any excuse to get some carving in! 😂

[@timhallas4275]

@@KingBespokeCreations Just glue the rope to the bottom of the route first, then fill.
