Alan -- This was both a technical and an aesthetic success. The jigs and techniques you developed to create Celtic knots in vases and other large items are technical tour de force. Wow! But, with this vase, you did one better. Not only does the vase demonstrate that the jigs and techniques 'work', the resulting vase is very pleasing to the eye. The Celtic knot doesn't look like something that was added after the fact, just to show that you could. It looks like an organic part of the vase. Very well done!
Thank you for posting this project. You held my attention all the way through. I really like the result, it looks very nice. Technically challenging for sure but you nailed it. Now, as Robo Hippy said, particle board, really? You just have to be able to make your glue blocks from harder wood. Again thanks.
Interesting idea, even if I don't do segmenting... I was watching and said to myself, 'he didn't really use particle board for a glue base did he?' Poplar works great and is cheaper than sugar maple....
The difference is economics and time to prepare. I would prefer poplar or maple over particle board. However, the particle board already comes perfectly flat and not as expensive. I do hate parting it off. I'll probably resort to sawing with a straight bandsaw jig. And, I must remember to NOT cut into the surface until parting it off. Since you are a solid guy, try this out with a dry solid bowl - no glue blocks required. :) Alan
I haven't been able to get logs this year. Only do one show any more, and it isn't happening till next year. Called my log guy in Coos Bay and he said there are no loggers there. They are all out of town cutting the fire burned trees.... Oh well, next year...
Very nice bowl Alan. I always like segmented turnings. I'm glad you changed the feature ring from maple to cherry. It goes much better with the walnut I think. I didn't see the placement of the locking lobes/pins or how to rotate/position the bowl for each celtic knot segment. However I Am pretty sure I could figure that out. Would have been nice to see your method though. How do you calculate thickness of the spacer for making the second cut? Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.
Glad you like it. Part of the job of the pins is to enable measurement of the wood cut out in the 1st pass. Confirm that with your spacer width plus 2 saw kerfs. Alan
Hi Alan, That is beautiful. I really like the bandsaw jig as well. Great video Alan and one I'm keeping for future reference. Take care Alan. Cheers, Huw

Thank you for the kind commentary David

Your solutions for mounting are impressively innovative.
Thank you Robert. They have been stewing for a long time. :)
Alan
Wow, the waste blocks with dowels is an amazing idea! What a great way to help realign it all!
It really is! Do not leave them out.
Alan
I really like your Bandsaw Jig. I have never tried anything like that for the Celtic Knot turning. Thank you for sharing. Always enjoy your projects.
My pleasure! Stephen

@@AsWoodTurns Well, I always turn green wood. Don't know how to turn dry wood......
@@robohippy I am jealous of your wood sources.
I haven't been able to get logs this year. Only do one show any more, and it isn't happening till next year. Called my log guy in Coos Bay and he said there are no loggers there. They are all out of town cutting the fire burned trees.... Oh well, next year...
Super Cool! I foresee some of these Celtic Knots in my future!
That would be cool! Lewis

Cool, thanks!

Great technique. Did you 3D print the plastic bolt that holds the piece to your jig? I'll have to give this a try someday.
My 3D printer has become a great shop accessory - at least once I mastered the design software. :)
