"Celtic Pride"

**splinterz25** · 30th October 2019, 06:08 AM

Hello once again everyone here's my latest piece

"Celtic Pride" It's Teak with a hand cut Mahogany inlay turned, then a hand carved Celtic Knot rim (Both Sides) and burned inside edges for shading. The finish is Tru-Oil and this piece finished just under 12" diameter x 1 3/4" deep.

That's nice, lots of blood sweat and tears involved I would imagine

Of course I did the knot myself....It was hand drawn and hand carved with knifes and only the use of a small drill to make a 1/8" hole at each opening to make the carving a bit easier. I used these knifes https://www.amazon.com/Flexcut-Carvi...s%2C167&sr=8-6

Also the harp inlay was not done w/ a CNC hand done w/ a dremel.

Here are a few shots before it was finished, sorry I had more photos while carving but I cleaned my memory card by mistake before up loading the data.

Beautiful, you should be justifiably proud of your work.

**John Saxton** · 31st October 2019, 02:09 PM

That's a wonderful piece of turned artwork I have not seen the like to compare.A credit to your skill as a craftsman of obviously high standing.

Again real old school craftsman ship and skill

Amazing work, one of the most amazing I've seen on this forum. Pity I can't see it in person!!!

Thank you everyone for the very nice comments. More Carving, Inlay and Intarsia in my new pieces yet to come... Three in the works now.

LOL Thanks Richard.. this piece had a big response on most forums.

I think you need a different display stand for it. That one looks like weird extension of the plate. Just a very basic one would look good, even a clear one.
It belongs in an art gallery or at my place

Thanks again braintrust...I don't like this stand for this piece either so I'm hand carving one, I'll post this again when it's finished.

make sure you post again with the new stand.
