Heirloom Jewelry Box with Beaded Accents

Build a small keepsake or jewelry box and run a continuous 1/8 in bead around the lid and base edges for a refined, tactile detail. The ball-bearing pilot makes it easy to follow the box edges, and the smooth, carbide-tipped cut minimizes sanding before finish.


Beaded Picture Frames

Create custom picture frames and add a delicate 1/8 in beaded profile to the inner or outer edge of the rails and stiles. The control-cut profile helps reduce chatter on miters, producing crisp beads that elevate even simple frames.


Shaker-Style Beaded Face-Frame Cabinet

Make a small wall cabinet or display case and bead the inside edges of the face frame for that classic Shaker look. The 9/16 in flute length provides ample coverage along the edge, and the subtle radius adds shadow lines without looking heavy.


Charcuterie Board Set with Beaded Perimeter

Cut simple serving boards and add a beaded edge all around for a comfortable handhold and upscale finish. Pair the bead with a light roundover on the bottom edge to create a floating effect with minimal post-routing cleanup.


Nursery Name Plaques and Signs
