Oddbean new post about login | logout @d86237d2 Did that start out as three intersecting circles forming an equilateral triangle in the middle? If yes, I think I understand how to make this!
@bc1a1c09 That’s the basis of the design, but I used the “Tightly Knotted form of Triquetra” as my design image. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triquetra Mostly it was just a matter of remembering what went under what, and trying to achieve that look with my carving. And scaling the image so that the curves matched gouges that I had around so I wasn’t forced to freehand the curves. I’ll have a writeup once the bench is done, but this was about three mornings (2-4 hours each) of work total. https://files.woodworking.group/system/media_attachments/files/111/026/000/404/351/929/original/34c8993429acf9f5.png
@d86237d2 that's so awesome, thank you for sharing and confirming my hunch on how it was done! I appreciate you :)
@bc1a1c09 You’re welcome! Here are some progress images from along the way. 1: lowering the background; 2: beginning to separate the rings; and 3: the rings, separated, but not cleaned up The hardest part was keeping the rings straight so I knew which parts go over which other parts as I was carving. https://files.woodworking.group/system/media_attachments/files/111/026/035/783/306/077/original/3292b12e3ecebd74.jpeg https://files.woodworking.group/system/media_attachments/files/111/026/040/290/609/246/original/6ade26f9706614f0.jpeg https://files.woodworking.group/system/media_attachments/files/111/026/043/437/292/614/original/4b3dc993dafcdef1.jpeg
