MEANING: This variation of the original Trinity or Triquetra Knot weaves together 3 circles that form the trinity knot in the center.
Circle symbology encompasses the aspects of wholeness, inclusion, and completion.
So no matter what the “Trinity” represents to you...whether it be the ancient Celtic Goddess, the Christian Trinity; Land, Sea and Air; Mind, Body, Spirit; Moe, Larry, and Curly; chocolate vanilla, strawberry...this symbol represents the completeness of each aspect being woven, or included, into wholeness and perfection.
SIZE: The Regular size is 10 inches tall by 10.25 inches wide. Miniature is 5 inches tall by 5 and 1/8 inches wide. The pendant is carved from walnut (cedar is too fragile at this size) and is 2.5 inches tall by 2.75 inches wide.
THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed and carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12-inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders, etc.), we use no lasers, CNC machines or computer-operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands and eyes…
We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll and jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools and disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks and gouges from the carving tools, and finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 and then 220 grit finishes the smoothing and polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain and the color.
