The tape was removed after the wood glue became tacky. I was able to peel it off easily from below. It was only there to keep the glue squeeze out from getting in hard to sand areas. In hindsight it was not really needed. Just trying to save myself from glue cleanup.
Don't like bowtie fixings they look cheap and simple and spoil the look of any workpiece, and I've been a joiner for 50 years, and there are better methods out there. You have good joinery skills use them.
Loved the table, I am curious about leaving the painters tape in the piece when you added the ties; How did you remove it or conceal it?

Feedback: Camera work needs improvement, blurry and lost focus pretty often in the beginning.
Beautiful table, keep it up!

To each their own!!! I thought it was beautiful and I love the bow ties!
Thanks for the feedback. I’m curious what other solutions you would suggest for this type of natural split.
