Thanks for the article Tim. I have been playing with trying to make a pen and pencil holder but have not been able to center when cutting out the center hole, I am not sure if I can drill that large of a hole with this method, but I do plan on trying.
I am thinking I will need to try 2 different ways, one will be with making the designs before cutting out the center, the other will be cutting the design after cutting the center.
