i was wondering if someone had a 2D image of a Prop..

I'm doing tile in the floor of my river house with a granite "compass" in the entry way. This morning I had a dream though that it was a large cleaver prop set in granite on the floor and well.. It was pretty much off the hook.

Anyone got a 2D image I can take a peek at?

Dave, are you having the stone waterjet cut? I've done a few floor entry jobs with inlaid bronze, steel, and stainless, as well as some other stone in stone designs, the waterjet works AMAZING on stone!!!

With the compass we were going to fab it by hand with this weird kinda tile saw. It's a tile saw with no center in the blade! So you can use it kinda like a band saw, making turns etc..

Can your water jet cut granite tiles?

Absolutely, All types of stone, very intricate patterns as well, not to mention the stone cuts significantly faster than metal

I meant like a 2D drawing "outline" of one so that I could have something cut from it?

You mean like a CAD drawing/file?

Dave,

Not that you asked my opinion...but here it is. Don't do the compass thing. It's kinda 1990's in my opinion and a few years down the road will look a little outdated. The prop thing is way cool or an idea, and a prop by itself will look bichen' - nice and clean.

Just my $.02.

I say you cut a well in the floor, and have an actual cleaver prop spinning under a glass cover.
Now were talking. :D

The BMW logo is a propeller. Fairly understated, but effective.

Why not do a brass or bronze piece in 2D and lay it like a piece of tile right onto the floor....I've been seeing a lot of metal inlays lately in the trade mags.
