Hello all,

I am trying something that I just cant get correct. I want to cut out a skeet shape item. I took a clock pattern and it's almost perfect with a classical edge bit, but I am having an issue getting the top rounded. Would anyone be able to shoot me an idea or explain what else I could do? It will be a bit bigger than the actual skeet itself, I am going to have my laser engraver carve names on it for a local team.
I dont have to have a fancy top like the ones in the 2nd picture, Just want to top "dome" effect.

Thanks

Here is a few web shots of the exact one. I dont care about the dimples on it, I just want the dome shape and as close as I can get on the classical bit parts. I do have one here with me I can take pics of if need be.

JOHN!!! That is awesome. Can I give you a few bucks or something? That is 100% better than what I thought it could be. Also thanks to all of those others who tried to help or atleast put some thought into it. I really appreciate it.
