Wood Inlay BowTies
Inlays in woodworking go by many names including bow tie, bowtie, butterfly, sticher, dutchman, and many others. Having been disappointed with bowties I purchased for my live edge tables, I bought the equipment to make my own. Since I started making my own bowties, I've gone on the hunt to find new exotic woods to sell at woodsurgeonshop on Etsy. So far, I've listed over 50 different varieties of wood. On the My Technique page, I go into detail about how I do my inlays. Here's a sampling of the some of the woods.
