Some people may think a bowtie inlay is not for a beginner but I think it's achievable. It actually requires me to simply chop the fibers by chisel (mostly straight down cutting) and I don't even have to know the complicated grain directions and chisel things.
All I needed was to find out how I can avoid the potential mistakes and here I demonstrate what works for me.
Hope you can do a clean bowtie and surprise experienced people!
