Bowties
Bowties, also known as butterflies, are inlaid pieces of wood across a crack in the table top. They prevent the crack from getting wider while adding another beautiful element to the finished piece.

Depending on the type of table and wood used, the craftsman will decide whether to leave the bark on or take it off.
It’s somewhat more common for the bark to be removed and edges sanded down slightly.
