    Default Need help with a pattern

    Can someone help me with this Adirondack chair pattern. The lines are jagged. If you have a better one that's OK but it has to look like this one at this angle.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    It looks better if you "invert" the pattern. Just an idea. If you "carve it" it may tend to break the lines also.

    Tom, I converted the picture to a DXF and it looks good cut with a 60 deg. bit at .100 you can open the MPC and copy and paste it to your project if you think it will be suitable.

    I didn't know if you have conforming vectors or not, so just for you to test, I changed the whole MPC into a vector carving. With the edges routed, it would look good to me. see the Relax.mpc

    Thanks Daniel and Ed!
    I didn't want to invert it so I can easily paint the outline, this would give a nice contrast.
    The mpc looks good Ed, but I'm having trouble getting it the right size when I paste it. I'm off to a meeting and will try later.
    Thanks guys!!
