Metal Bowtie Wood Slab Inlay - Large

Large wood slab metal bowties offer incredible strength for those larger cracks, splits and areas where you need a big wood stitch to add strength. Simply cut a hole for the inlay to install (See below). Sand flush if needed for a raw brushed metal texture or tape off the wood, and polish to a high metal gloss. Aluminum: Bow Tie - Large: 4"L x 2-1/2"W x 3/8"H Brass: Bow Tie - Large: 4"L x 2-1/2"W x 1/4"H Whether you call it a Bowtie, a Butterfly, a stitch, or a dutchman, it still does the same job to stabilize a crack in the wood slab or just to create an aesthetically unique look. Bowties will stop a crack in wood from getting larger and can be used on small cracks on the underside of a wood slab to be unseen. Installing a bowtie inlay is a simple task that a lot of people over think, and it can take far less time than expected.
