I have an inlay jig and bushing kit but I didn't think a .5" inlay would be thick enough so I cut them full thickness. I need to build a jig that will accommodate larger bits and deeper cuts.Chad "FB"
You might consider an inlay bushing set (http://www.rockler.com/inlay-bushing-and-bit-with-removable-collar), with this set up most any shape is possible to inlay perfectly.
For' butterflies' , since they are usually structural a rule of thumb I use is a minimum 1/3 board thickness with the grain running from 'head to tail' on the butterfly. With the 1/8" bit in the router for the template jig I take many passes to achieve my depth, usually I use a larger bit to hog out the centers. You will need to clean up any corners by hand but a sharp chisel takes care of that.
If I have to do just one 'butterfly', I might whack it out by hand, two or more and out comes the router.

Wow, sad story with good ending. Great to have family and friends that help. What part of Virginia are you in? Could I come by some time and see your new building, Joe?The story with captions . . .
