Dutchman Patches

Dutchman patches and bow ties for three days straight on this live edge walnut headboard. The "Dutchman patch" is an inlay technique that has been around forever (AKA: butterflies, bow ties, keys, etc) . These repairs and reinforcements are commonly seen on boats, furniture, doors, etc. The photo below shows an antique with some dutchman patches. I'll post more photos of the headboard when I get it finished.
