Labyrinth Turning

How?

Once again...HOW??

Very interesting and challenging. It's nice that you have access to metalworking machines. I enjoy puzzles so I have been thinking about how I might attempt this. Alas, my only metalworking tools are a hacksaw and a file.

Without looking at this amazing piece, I think it would be difficult to convince someone to buy a chisel made to do this...

Count me in, HOW?, Nice piece.

Seems like it would have to be cut apart, turned in sections and re-assembled, but I see no glue lines. Wood magic!

I enjoy pieces that make you stop to think how it’s done, but this one does ‘knot‘ look possible without using glue ups. Need more pics.

I'm sure that there are multiple ways of doing it. I figured out one way it could be done, but it would require some fancy machining to make the tools that are sturdy enough. The biggest challenge would be the last two corners.

Thank you for sharing this. Excellent work!

Looking at Konstantin's media page I see a similar piece labyrinth turning that gives a clue as to its execution. The blank would have to start as a donut with a bite taken out of it in order to cut in from the center with a series of shaped tools. Very clever and requires some serious toolmaking skill if I am right. Also probably a metal lathe as Bill suggests

In comments Konstantin says" it is forbidden to publish the technology and tools here". Is that correct? I see nothing in the site rules to suggest it.
