You have inspired me Merle. I have some oval pieces of mahogany 1/2 inch thick and 3"long and 2 wide. I use them when I have do western stile belt buckles. Think the wings would make a pretty design for a plaque to fit on a necklace for my wife's birthday.

Went to print shop and made...

So far so good Di. The pack had 100 disks in it. Looks like about .07 cense each at $13.95 a pack.I am still on the first one after what I would estimate is about 3 hour of actual work time on some scrap to get a feel for how to use it , a basswood dog carving and a mahogany cane handle.
