Woodworking Inlay - No Talking

My lungs needed a break, so just wood sounds this week. Well, wood and tool sounds. Anyway, bow tie, dutchman joint, dutchman key, or eyesore. There are a million different names for these types of inlays. I generally just call them wood bow ties, or bow tie joint though. What do they do? Well, their wedge shape helps prevents cracks from splitting open any further. Although these here are largely just for looks. If you want a little more explanation, I’ll be doing a commentary version in the next couple of weeks where I will explain way more than you’d ever want to know. So be careful what you wish for. 0:00 Intro 1:26 Cutting bow ties on bandsaw 3:01 Tracing with a marking knife 4:49 Plunge router for inlay 5:22 Tools for wood inlay 6:17 Sharpening chisels between sharpening 8:15 Chisel work 10:22 Mallet giveaway 11:12 Wood dust trick 11:31 Cutting a chamfer 12:20 Inserting the bow tie 13:44 Flattening the inlay 15:02 Finishing with Rubio Monocoat 16
