Got in some reps doing butterfly/bowtie/dovetail keys (who knows which term is correct!?). As usual i overcomplicate things for myself, so the design and shape i came up with was far from straightforward to do. As well as hogging out as much of the waste i could with a 1/4” bit on a plunge router, i needed to use every single one of these chisels, as well as a scalpel!! Hopefully they’ll look good once the epoxy is dry and it’s planed down…

They dont actually look too bad after flattening! Slab on left has nothing on and slab on right has some white spirit to see what it might look like with finish on. Obviously the slabs are Oak, but the keys are Gabon Ebony
