Default Trinity Knots
I've been carving trinity knots. Here's some pics of 5 pins I did for my girlfriend for her birthday. From top left to bottom right they are 1 3/4" wide and carved in pine, red cedar, butternut, basswood and aspen--Note the knot in the knot! The pins are finished with Satin polyurethane and Johnson' Floor wax.

I am also finishing up a Shamrock with a trinity knot for a pin which is done in red cedar. It is 2 1/2" wide by 3" tall. I finished it with High gloss lacquer.
