I don't really like the Mahogany pen. The segmentation looked a lot different in my head. Maybe thinner veneer would look better. I'm open to suggestions.

I have probably made a couple hundred Celtic knot blanks but this is the very first one I have turned. This one I like.

Woody I have come to the same conclusion. I turned a Celtic Knot slimline and the detail disappeared. The angle is 32 degrees. I am in the process of making a new jig and will try it at 45 degrees. Going to make the next jig adjustable. I also make the blanks using one piece of veneer. This jig is adjustable and I have changed the angle of that one after these were made.
