While I realize that I can make my own, does anybody know of a place where I can order acrylic (or similar material) router templates to make wooden plaques? I am not having any luck searching the web… |

Are you asking about letters to engrave words? I do a lot of plaques for the equine industry, and I have found it is easier and more profitible to make up the plaques and have a trophy shop do the laser engraving for the names. -- Randy "You are judged as much by the questions you ask as the answers you give..." |

No, I am just trying to find templates for the shape of the plaque. |

I would make my own out of masonite or mdf or plywood. Google up some images of plaques. When you find ones you like, copy them and draw them up in photoshop or GIMP or similar program. Print them out to the size you need, tape to the template material, cut them out with a jigsaw, and use a rasp to fine tune. -- Jesse -- |
