I bought a butterfly template (Jasper) from woodcraft and tried it out =
tonight.

Wow! It was easier than I thought it would be. I'm using the inlay =
kit with the removable bushing on the router.

My question is : I noticed that I had to either square the corners of =
the work piece or round the corners of the inlay. Which method is =
preferred. On my practice piece I squared the corners of the work, but =
I thought that if a mistake was to be made, it would be better to make =
it on the inlay ie.round the corners. =20

What do you do?

Glad to see you liked my suggestion. I prefer using a single-edge razor =
blade to cut the corners - they look better squared off. The razor blade =
aligns along the edge nicely and then simply push down (if with the =
grain) or use a very small tack hammer to tap the blade into cross-grain =
to make the cuts.=20
