Introducing our 'minis', individual small handle shaped acrylic router templates that are perfect for small cheese boards and serving trays. These minified handles are inspired by some of the full sized handles in our template collection, but shrunken down to be better proportioned on small cheese boards.
These handles are best suited to cheese boards and serving boards up to 8" wide, and 12" long.
Handles are sold separately. Choose the style you would like to purchase from the drop down list.
Crafted Elements Acrylic Router Templates
The Crafted Elements line of laser cut acrylic router templates are precision cut templates designed especially for woodworkers. Unless you have access to a CNC machine in your shop these templates are the easiest, most accurate and most repeatable way to shape wood and wood+resin pieces into things like charcuterie boards, serving trays, handles, functional art and more.
Like our line of maker molds, we designed these templates to save you time and boost production efficiency. These take the guesswork out of shaping and fabricating. By simply pulling one of these clear templates off the shelf and lining it up on your material you’ll instantly know how your final piece will look before you even start cutting and shaping.
We laser cut all of our templates out of long lasting and durable 1/4” thick cast acrylic to ensure the bearing on your router bit has enough surface area to glide on. These templates can be used over and over and will quickly become a go-to tool in your shop.
Reduce errors, inaccuracy and problems with making complex shapes perfectly symmetrical. We even have templates to match many of our awkwardly shaped silicone molds, so you can cut and shape pieces of wood to fit perfectly snug within our molds before you pour your resin.
All you need is a template, flush trim router bit (like this one) and a router table. Even the most basic routers are capable of shaping materials up to 1.5” thick.
Using our templates is easy:
Place the template over your material (usually wood or wood & epoxy resin). Trace the shape of the template onto your piece.
Using a jig saw, scroll saw or a band saw (where appropriate) cut out the rough shape you traced onto your material, leaving between 1/16” and ¼” outside of the perimeter.
Install your appropriately sized flush trim bit into the router in your router table such as the Crafted Elements 1/4" High Performance Spiral Down Cut Flush Trim Bit. Be sure your router bit has a blade long enough for the height of your material. Line up the bearing of your router bit with the acrylic template.
Turn on your router and glide the template along the bearing of your router bit, allowing the router to remove the excess material on your piece, effectively duplicating the shape of the router template.
Carefully remove the template from your material. Remove the two sided tape or hot glue. Sand any leftover residue off of your project. You can use goo-gone or other adhesive remover on the acrylic templates for any stubborn or sticky residue.

My order was packaged with a shipping label within 15 minutes of submission. This products are easy to use and very durable. I will definitely be buying more products in the future.
With the price being as reasonable as it was, I ordered three of these templates just to have on hand. I used them to make over a dozen mini-cheese and/or serving boards for my office co-workers. The handle made all the boards look professional and uniform. I then created artwork and laser engraved everyone's first initial on the boards to customize each one. They were a hit. I have also purchased and used several other handle styles from Crafted Elements. They are very useful.
Nice simple template. Used it to make little cheese boards for my office co-workers for Christmas. The template made each look consistent and clean. Very handy and practical for small woodworking projects…
Used the mini template for some shot flight boards. Worked great!! Was also nice to have the hole in the template already ti be able to hang them! Anxious to find a use for the other handles!!
Again, using the handle templates opens new doors on what can be made. Made this tiny box for my granddaughter and will fill it with jellybeans. Happy with all of crafted elements products.
Made a tailgating cheeseboard for a Penn State fan and this template made it so easy. Should look even better when I sand off the excess epoxy and oil up the board.
I have a number of the full-size handle templates, but I love the minis! I used the templates to make over a dozen of these personalized cheese boards as Christmas presents. I did have a couple mistakes - but I blame that on pilot error. I have ordered several sets for this reason, just to have a back up plan. The prices are great and the the speed at which I get my order is amazing!
