Huon Pine and Red Gum
very happy i think these must be the first knots where i have managed to get the knots to line up exactly across the cuts
finish is BLO/CA, must be like riding a bike worked first time

Mik, I always get "jealous" when I see Knots, have not ever done one, so one day will try it. Very attractive and well done, Amos

thanks guys appreciate the comments
the best part about these knots for me is not the putting together or the end result, its actually watching them transform while turning - from straight lines to curved
