The laser cutting sounds very intriguing - can you give an overview of
the process?

A buddy of mine in San Marcos, CA used a laser to cut his business
cards. Corel Draw 4 and a computer were used and the laser "printed"
the etching or cuts depending upon his needs. Pretty cool. Darrell's
buddy looks to have a newer model.

Is it a big deal to cut the corresponding inlay? (If that's the
direction one wanted to go, of course.) I mean, what's involved in
sizing the inlay for the cutting once you have the outlay(?) Corel-ed
up? Was the price reasonable or kinda a sticking point for personal
projects (i.e. don't drive no fancy truck, don't live in no McMansion,
don't do an annual vacation * 'cept to the Astoria KOA every year)?
