I saw this as a news story on my local news and the only reason i mention it is that in the story you see them cutting them on a Shopbot. They are out of Tulsa, Okla and thought they might be forum members.
Looks like they were selling a bunch

No i didn't have a link it was one of those time filler type of stories on my local CBS affilliate. The only thing that interested me was that they were using a shopbot and figured it might be a forum member and they could see that it was picked up on the east coast.

try wooden bow ties in your search browser. You will get a hit for the video on Tulsa TV as well as the store and images.

Tulsa is an interesting town to live in. Lots of talent and youthful enthusiasm. The use of FabLab Tulsa has grown enormously, and some percentage of those ideas being prototyped will turn into markets.
It feels a lot like the early days of the microprocessor. Lots of ideas running all over the place. Very talented individuals, motivated by their own curiosity.
The maker movement is bringing manufacturing back down to individuals instead of being accessible only as consumers. ShopBot has sure done its part in that.

I think the ties should be 3-D carved...not just cookie cutters.
