As Wood Turns | Woodturning Easter Eggs With Three Lobe Celtic Knot @AsWoodTurns | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 7 minutes ago

These two eggs are cherry and walnut. The cherry came from a branch that is now well dried. In fact, it is dry enough that it has a large drying crack that I will have to deal with.
For the Celtic knot, the wood is first roughed round. Then templates are attached to both ends. A simple sled provides a sawing platform. Scrap wood provides alignment and support for the cuts.
When cutting, each slice is cut individually, replacement wood is inserted with slow epoxy.
Then the second cut, Replace wood, Then the third cut and replace wood.
Any number of slices can be used depending on the DIY template.
Then turn the egg using part of the sphere octagon process for the big end. There is no template for the small end but chicken eggs vary significantly anyway.
These eggs are finished with shellac.
Enjoy.
