Not sure what the better half is going to say about this since I didn't tell her I was going to do this, but I think it's cool :roll: . The seat is a little hard to work with since it is already shaped and you have to unscrew a few things to get the top off. Anchoring it down is a challenge since it is very slick with the varnish that is applied to it. Once all that was taken care of it was roughed with a 1/4" ballnose and finished with a 1/16" ballnose with 8% stepover. The Celtic Cross is a super design with lots of detail. Check it out! Thanks all. -AD :twisted:

That looks good a unique idea. On the hold down of the top can you use carpet tape? i use it and holds really well, I use the cloth type or fiberglass.

Oscar, you made my day. That is the most unusual use of a Vector Art 3D model so far :) (at least that I have seen). I emailed the link to the artist who modelled it I am sure he will get a kick out of it... Have a nice weekend and I hope the missus likes it...
Cheers, James

That is VERY COOL Oscar!
Extravagant even!

I bet one of the wildlife scenes would work well too.
Me, I'd go for the Happy Cat model from VA3D ;)

Excellent project.

I've sold a number of toilet seats with designs from the vector art 3d animal collection, and several with motorcycle logos. I have a template cut from blue foam for each toilet seat style and use vacuum to hold it down. Need to go to lowes for another blank today to put Panda from animal collection on. Did have problem with one seat splitting after carving as they are not always as tightly glued together as they appear on the surface.
