Turning Celtic Eggs

The "Celtic knot” was a favorite design of the ancient Celts who once dominated the British Isles, so-called because it appears to be formed by interwoven loops of rope. In woodworking, craftsmen create Celtic knots by gluing up intersecting layers of wood, and then turning the stock on a lathe so the layers appear to form intertwined loops. This decorative technique can be used to enhance any turned item, and Nick shows you how to use it to create elegant decorative wooden eggs. Better yet, he shows how to expand this process to create an infinite variety of designs.Show more
