    Oh, depending on what you want done, I have a 40W laser cutter... :-)

      Thanks for the reply, John. I need to cut appx 1/4 inch plywood with the widest dim at 8 1/2. the height is no more than 15 inches. sort of an "L" shape with standard curves. I think it is a fairly simple cut. Once I prove the concept I will want to cut enough to promote the idea.

        Nope, 1/4" ply is pretty hard core... My 40W laser won't do more than 1/8".  Have you considered CNC Milling?

          If I laser cut, I think the burnt edge will actually enhance the product and I may not have to paint which will save a lot on cost.  At most, I can spray a clear sealer on the ply wood. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Try Laser Wood Design, 135 Mystic Ave, Medford, MA 02155

    The expensive part will be setup.  Can you provide workable electronic drawings?  That will save you a lot of $.   

    There are online services, too... Google is your friend.

      Thanks, John! Medford is just a couple of miles away from me. I have a freind who can do the drawing for me. I'll update when I find a solution. Yes, Google is my freind - I don't even remember what I did before google.

    You might contact CBGitty, I believe they laser cut a lot of their stuff, might be able to farm something out to them for a fee.
