Celtic Knot Of Inner Strength Wood Carving Triquetra Variation Trinity Triangle Wall Art Irish Scottish Welsh Home Decor Hermetic Principles

MEANING: The inner loops represent the qualities within us (such as; self-worth, self-assurance, self-control, etc) that flow outward to manifest our individual personalities. It can also represent the flow of inner meditative contemplation to the outward dynamic action. To me (Katrina) it also represents the part of the 2nd Law of the Hermetic Principles: Correspondence, that states, ...as within so without, as without so within This Celtic Triangle is a variation of the original Triquetra Knot that represents the Aspects of the ancient Celtic Goddess, or later, the Christian Trinity. This symbol could work for Wiccan, Pagan, Nature-based Altars. It is appropriate as a Celtic Heritage symbol for Irish, Scottish, Welsh, etc. home decor. THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed & 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 & eyes... We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 & then 220 grit finish the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color. SIZE: One picture has the piece on a quilting board, lined up on the 1 inch marks. The quilting board, at its simplest, is a one inch grid. So with the piece on the board, you look at the top & follow the line to the left & look at the right side at the widest point & follow the line to the bottom & you have height by width...but wait! It's not that easy! The way this board I have is laid out, if I lined it up on the zero points it would cover up the numbers & on some pieces you wouldn't be able to see them...so, I line it up on the 1 inch marks which means when you get the numbers, you have to subtract 1 inch... TA DA! Measurements may vary slightly from piece to piece. Celtic Knot Of Inner Strength Wood Carving Triquetra Variation Trinity Triangle Wall Art Irish Scottish Welsh Home Decor Hermetic Principles
