Bow Tie Master Kit

The Chisel-Free Bow Tie System Creating bow tie inlays shouldn't require hours of chisel work and hand fitting. The Bow Tie Master Kit was designed to make the process simple. By including both the pocket templates and the matching bow tie templates, you can create perfectly fitting inlays using nothing more than a router and router table. Whether you're stabilizing a crack in a live edge slab or adding a decorative detail to a piece of furniture, you'll spend less time fitting parts and more time building. Three Simple Steps 1. Route the Pocket Secure the template with double-sided tape and route the bow tie recess using a 1/4" router bit. 2. Make the Matching Bow Tie Use the included positive template to shape the bow tie itself on your router table. We recommend rough-cutting it on a bandsaw before doing the final trim on a router table. Because both templates come from the same design, your bow tie and pocket are designed to fit each other from the start. They will be tight, which is what you want. You can lightly sand the sides of the bow tie with 120-220 sandpaper until you get the nice friction fit you're looking for. 3. Glue It In Add glue, press the bow tie into place, and sand flush after it dries. No chisels. No tedious hand fitting. Just clean, repeatable results. What's Included Precision laser-cut 1/4" cast acrylic template that is 9" x 8". Three bow tie sizes 2" × 0.775" 3" × 1.25" 4" × 1.75" Radius of the bow tie corners are .125" so you don't need to square up with chisels Matching positive templates for every size Laser-engraved centerlines for easy alignment Free step-by-step video tutorial via QR code Why Matching Templates Matter Most bow tie templates only help you cut the pocket. The difficult part is making a bow tie that actually fits. The Bow Tie Master Kit solves both problems by including matching templates for the pocket and the bow tie itself, making it easier to produce clean-fitting inlays without hours of trial and error.
