Project Ideas

Business

Coastal Charcuterie & Home Goods Line

Launch a product line of wavy-edge boards, coasters, and shelves marketed as coastal/organic decor. The bit’s radiused edge reduces sanding labor, enabling faster production. Offer customization with laser-engraved monograms or map coordinates to increase margins.


Event Decor Frames & Signage Rentals

Produce wavy-edged photo frames, welcome signs, and table markers for weddings and events. Rent them as packages or sell custom-branded pieces to planners. The consistent, durable profile from the carbide bit stands up to transport and repeated use.


Cabinetry and Millwork Upgrade Service

Offer a per-linear-foot service to add wavy-edge accents to trim, shelves, and drawer fronts for remodelers and interior designers. The ball-bearing pilot makes on-site touch-ups feasible, speeding installation and limiting shop time.


Workshops and Make-&-Take Classes

Host beginner-friendly workshops where students make a wavy-edge serving board or picture frame in a single session. The reduced sanding requirement keeps classes on schedule. Monetize through tuition, kit sales, and upsells on finishes and clamps.


Faux Live-Edge Furniture Niche

Build and sell faux live-edge desks, console tables, and mantels that deliver the look without the cost or unpredictability of true slabs. Market to urban customers who want a natural aesthetic with consistent dimensions and safer, soft edges.

Creative

Faux Live-Edge Serving Boards

Create charcuterie and serving boards that mimic a natural live edge by routing both long sides with the wavy bit. The ball-bearing pilot keeps the profile consistent while the smoothly radiused corners reduce sanding time before applying a food-safe finish. Use contrasting woods (walnut, maple, cherry) and add a juice groove or handle cutout for variety.


Ocean-Themed Picture Frames

Make picture frames or mirror frames with a wave-like perimeter. The compact pilot lets you follow the frame’s outer edge cleanly, and the rounded profile invites a paint or whitewash finish for a coastal look. Pair with blue/sea-glass tones and market as beach house decor.


Wavy-Front Floating Shelves

Build floating shelves with a straight back edge for mounting and a wavy routed front edge for an organic, sculptural face. The micrograin carbide tips hold up well on hardwoods, producing a clean profile that needs minimal touch-up before oil or lacquer.


Tactile Coaster and Trivet Sets

Cut square or round coasters and trivets, then run the perimeter with the wavy bit for a tactile, finger-friendly edge. Bundle sets with a simple holder and experiment with inlays or epoxy fills to complement the soft, undulating profile.


Accent Drawer Fronts and Panels

Route wavy edges around drawer fronts, cabinet doors, or wall panels to create a subtle, soft-shadow detail. The bearing-guided bit keeps lines consistent across multiples, making it ideal for matched sets in a bedroom or hallway console.
