I stumbled upon the Woodworking for Mere Mortals video of him making a wooden necktie and decided I had to make one. The only thing is that I have 5 different dress shirts so I wanted to make mine reversible so I could wear it with any of them. Doing this didn’t require too much design change except how the elastic cord went thru the pieces, so all in all it worked out great.
The dark side is Bolivian Rosewood and the light side is Bird’s Eye Maple and I finished it with 3 coats of wipe-on poly.
Thanks for taking a look!

hfminmi It’s not too hard but I ended up making a jig for the grooves.
Here’s the Youtube video of him making it, and he put a template of the tie in the description with the video which helps with the dimensions, etc.
