Simply Woodworking - Let's carve a celtic knot - hand tool carving

Adventures in carving continue with a celtic knot design carved on Lime wood (also known as basswood). It's a simple design, fairly easy to carve, although lessons were learned (must try harder). It's a good way to get started in carving.

Carving requires patience which I’m willing to develop. You showed some really good tips on sharpening and chiseling. Thanks!

I love your honesty on how you feel about your end result! 😉
A bloody good effort!
We all learn from each piece we create and get better every time we work the wood.
Great job Sir.
Every time we try we do a better job than those who don’t.
You created a lovely piece reminiscent of an ancient carving!
Keep at it mate.
Every carve we make makes us better. 👍🍻

Finish? Boiled Linseed Oil? Nice result with the sanding.

Nice work, I am attempting a cigar box guitar and have had to chop out some wood to get the top to fit, that's hard enough and its just a straight line bit !

It's never easy, Mikey, but that's why we do it!
