The Irish Love Knot is a Celtic Knot of Eternal Love
MEANING: The Irish Love Knot contains within it, two hearts entwined, one heart flowing into the next. The wood is carved so the weave is composed of one line with no beginning or end, lending this symbol the meaning of Eternal Love.
This heart shaped knot is symbolic of Love, for those enchanted with Irish heritage and meanings it is makes a lovely gift for Irish themed Weddings, Vow Renewal Ceremonies or Anniversaries.
Don’t forget Valentine’s Day for your Irish lass or lad!
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.
