Traditional symbol is

a popular subject for

By Lora S. Irish

With their flowing shapes

and intersecting lines, Celtic

knots are popular subjects for

carvings. Knowledge of the

knots is, in fact, based largely on

stone examples that were carved

nearly a millenium ago. The

endless knots symbolize eternal

themes, so it seemed appropriate

to pair them with cross designs.

These patterns can be carved

in low, high, or even pierced

relief, and also look good when

woodburned.
