Looks great Tim. Time for a new career...
thanks, but my mind couldnt handle this full time. all these ideas consume WAY too much time.

Looks great. What did you use to make the cuts? They look nice and clean.
to start, i made a template that i could trace the outside of. cut it out, sanded the edges and rounded the corners. i then used that to make an inside template (one with a hole the size of the shape i wanted). i could have used the first one, but if the router slipped a little my piece was done. with the inside template there was no way to cut too much.

i then used those templates to cut even more templates for the inside recessed pieces. because i used a bushing system on the router that provided a little offset, i ended up with lots of templates to make it all work.
