This is sort of a concept and process that makes absolutely no sense to us, so instead of writing something supposedly clever or authoritative, we are just going to leave it to the guy, Isaac Hastings, who does this knot art business:
“The idea of Knot Art was passed on to me by my father, Charlie Hastings. Knot Art is created by the process of splitting and book matching an interesting board with knots and grain patterns to create a symmetrical design. Like a rorschach test, people see many different designs in the wood, so the image is best left up to the individuals interpretation and imagination. Every piece of wood that is split has a one of a kind design. So to find a piece with the right knots and grain to make designs with such a likeness to faces and animals is very exciting.
I work with a large variety of woods and do my best to show case the natural beauty of these woods by not using any stain, and protect each piece using a high quality lacquer. I hope you enjoy my work.”
