I got the idea for the ovals from a sign in the restroom where I work. Got the toilet here on the forum, thanks to whomever posted it.
I decided that if I was going to carve one of these ovals, I'd make it worth my while and do three at a time. So I made up the mpc with three ovals and carved them out. When I was done I had a scrap piece of wood with three ovals cut out. I decided to make a long skinny set of picture frames.

Well I liked the idea so I went back to the mpc and re-worked it so that I could get four projects out of one.
Help yourselves to the end results. One side's done carving and the other is almost done. Looks good, too.

Mike,

Great idea and use of what was scrap wood. I have a stack of cut outs that I have kept to do something similar. Was thinking mirrors but some would make nice picture frames too.

PS, I will not say anything about restroom humor. LOL

That is a great idea and thank you for the share. Fourth project is a great mind at work.

Don't know where the phrase came from, probably from someone here, so thanks to whomever, anyway I cut this did'nt take any photo's sorry, but it came out well enough that a friend now has it in his service station bathroom. Enjoy!

Yep, it's finished and it came out perfect! The cut-path came out exactly where I wanted it in relation to the ovals on the back. The machine ran like a Swiss watch, no complaints about anything. If I do another, I won't change anything on the mpc.

Cool projects, thanks for sharing...
