Classical Fluted Picture Frames
Build hardwood picture frames and add evenly spaced classical grooves along the face using a router guide. The 1/2 in diameter bit and 3/32 in radius give crisp, period-style flutes that elevate simple frames. Use a template for repeatable miters and consistent spacing.
Jewelry/Keystone Box with Inlay Channels
Cut shallow decorative grooves around the lid and sides of a small box, then fill with contrasting wood dust and CA, metallic powder, or tinted resin. The micrograin carbide tips deliver clean edges for tight, crisp inlay lines.
Wainscoting and Chair-Rail Accents
Add classical grooves to chair rails, stiles, or panel caps to give flat stock a custom millwork look. Use a fence or edge guide for straight, parallel runs that read as high-end architectural detail.
Serving Board with Decorative Grooves
Create a charcuterie or serving board and route one or two concentric decorative grooves to frame the food area. A template or trammel jig keeps arcs clean and repeatable for sets.
Cabinet Face-Frame and Door Stile Details
Add subtle classical grooves along cabinet face frames or door stiles/rails to match traditional kitchens. The 1/4 in shank works well in trim routers for on-assembled cabinetry touch-ups.
