DIY | Elegant Wooden - Epoxy Bow Tie

It's finally out! Here's the movie you could see the preview of in the last month. In this video, I present the process of making a wooden bow tie, in combination with colored epoxy.

I’ve found the inspiration for this project in the previous film: https://bit.ly/2Q26oIf ("Time for coffee" - Epoxy coffee table).
