This project features a walnut vase with two sets of Celtic knot loops of maple. It is 2.5 inches diameter and six inches tall.
Helpful equipment and accessories are:
- 2 hexagon templates sized for the maximum capacity of my tablesaw. These are drawn in software and printed then glued to .25 inch plywood or hardboard. I saw and sand to the line.
- a tablesaw sled to which I can temporarily fasten scrap to position my project for sawing.
- hot melt glue gun.
I screw the templates to the rough turned stock at the center and hot melt for additional security.
After positioning the project with templates on the sled at an angle of choice, I fastened scrap pieces to the tablesaw sled to enable returning the project to the same position on the sled.
Before sawing, I also fasten scrap to the top of the project with hot melt glue. This wood maintains the relative position of the two halves of the project that soon will be.
Then saw but not through the positioning scrap.
Now glue in the replacement wood. I used maple.
Repeat for each loop. However, I changed the angle after sawing every other point on my hexagon before sawing the next three alternating loops.
Then hollow and shape to taste.
Enjoy!
