After designing an effective process for Celtic knots on large vessels, I am no experimenting with different application and variations of the process. In this case, three walnut slices at different angles and intervals provide additional visual interest.

The base wood is sold as hickory pecan since the two woods cannot be visually distinguished. The accent wood is walnut. All rings are constructed with 12 segments each with the exception of the three oval rings which have two additional segments to transform the circle to an oval. There are nine hickory rings, two walnut rings, and three walnut oval rings. The base consists of a three ply sandwich of hickory which is then set into the base hickory ring. Three plies prevent wood expansion/contraction which could destroy the vase. Segments total 174.

Walnut oil provides a nice matt finish.

This vase is 4 inches diameter and 6 inches in height.

Enjoy.
