Steve,
If you're looking for real Stickley finish, why not use fumed oak that was "fume" completely ?
Then the colour would be not an issue.

Dude, Excellent, well done...!!

The short answer is no, you would need Aspire. The longer answer is, "It depends on what the image is, and the effect that you want for the final product." Seeing the 2D image might be helpful. How do I upload files or photos to the forum? Is this something I could do using the Aspire Trial version...

If you play your card correctly , using VCarve, you can do what you want with the Moulding ToolPath.

Kurt,
I believe it's in the "Options" window.
Go to "Edit", then "Options", and check the first three options to "Yes".
Open your Tool Data Base and make the changes you want.
Save that file and open a new session of the software.
It should remember these changes.

No idea where you are ( Cost of living), or what you're expecting to make.
No idea what your competitors are charging or what your potential customers are willing to pay.

These are all questions that are important to know to run a successful,and profitable business.

Thanks guys for playing along. The "Fit Vectors to Curves" will change the shape of the circle so that wouldn't work as expected. And the idea of a 1/400th segment of a circle is interesting, but what happens if it's not a circle ... Again, thanks for indulging me in some way off topic stuff.. Michael

So, the long days at home, as we may have been dealing with, have for me, set my mind to thinking.. I know the importance of nodes and how to reduce the number of node.... But my question is,,,, Is there a way to populate a circle, with only 4 nodes, and convert it to a circle with, let's say, 400 n...
