Soundhole Covers

I stumbled upon this link today, and was very interested with what i saw..

These soundhole covers look beautiful, and is exactly what I've wanted for quite a while.
I've never seen anything like this at the music stores around CPT, though to be honoust
I havent been looking for it whenever I entered the stores. Anybody know where to find
this or something similar to it?

Those do look cool. I guess that if someone knew someone who had access to a laser cutting machine, someone could have them made to a custom drawing????????????? Any takers??????

I was thinking that too?

My brother is a goldsmith, and while he was studying he told me bout this laser cutting machine
that they used to cut out any design they had made on Rhino software.

Hmmmm, I wonder.....

I'm thinking scratch plates and tuning heads as weel? Could be exciting! ?
