well nice to know the design is appreciated.
I did the knotwork in autocad to start with and fed it to adobe illustrator to give it some depth before I laser engraved the mold halves.
It started as a simple 4 strand weave the same way I make rope, then I tried to give it the endless look of traditional stuff, and failed on two strands.
the buckle design artwork was procured by my fiance, and she spend a great many hours creating the various masks needed to laser engrave the molds.
They took around 2.5 - 3 hours to cut at 0.025mm passes.
I wanted some detail.
Maybe I have high standards, but I never quite looked at celtic /scottish styles with the "less is more" mentality, but I have had a few comments about it in the last couple of days and I'm starting to understand.
