Recommended Products to Use With This Template
To make a finished wine glass inlay, most customers will need a way to secure the template, the right router bits, suitable wood, epoxy, pigment, and a finish for the completed piece.
- Template Tape - used to secure the acrylic template to your wood while routing the inlay pocket.
- Pocketing Bit - useful for removing the majority of the material in larger, less detailed areas.
- Small Detail Pocketing Bit - useful for smaller details, tighter curves, and the stem area of the wine glass design.
- Dimensional Wood - choose from kiln-dried hardwoods for boards, trays, signs, panels, and custom woodworking projects.
- Live Edge Wood - a popular choice when adding inlay details to charcuterie boards and natural edge projects.
- EcoPoxy UVPoxy - a good epoxy option for filling shallow inlays up to 1/4" deep.
- Beaver Dust Pigments - use pigment to add colour, shimmer, or contrast to epoxy-filled wine glass inlays.
- Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil - a good choice for food-contact boards when your project is being used as a serving board or charcuterie board.
- Grand Finishing Hardwax Oil - a great option for decorative boards, trays, wall art, signs, furniture accents, and other non-cutting-board projects.
How to Use This Wine Glass Inlay Template
- Choose your project: Start with a flat, stable piece of wood, serving board, tray, sign, panel, or live edge board.
- Plan the inlay location: Place the clear acrylic template over the wood and position the wine glass where it works best with the grain, knots, cracks, or design of the piece.
- Attach the template: Apply template tape to the back of the acrylic template and press it firmly onto the wood.
- Route the larger areas: Use the pocketing bit to remove most of the material in the larger areas of the wine glass design.
- Clean up the small details: Use the small detail pocketing bit for tighter curves, smaller areas, and the stem detail. Take your time, especially when working with hard or dense woods.
- Remove the template: Carefully remove the acrylic template from the wood and store it flat for future use.
- Fill the inlay: If desired, fill the routed pocket with epoxy and pigment. UVPoxy is a good option for shallow inlays up to 1/4" deep.
- Sand flush and finish: Once the epoxy has cured, sand the inlay flush with the surface and apply the right finish for your project.
