Bow Tie Inlay - How, Where, When, and Why

Woodworking inlays, specifically these bow tie or “Dutchman” joints seem to get a wide range of questions. So this week I do a deep dive into how to make bow-tie joints/dutchman joints/butterfly keys. I also discuss when is a bow tie joint needed, when are you probably fine without a bow tie, what glue to use for inlays, what glue NOT to use, and everything else I could pack into 16 minutes of woodworking inlay fun.
