    Hi David, I have only a few quick questions for you: 

    1) when do you need them by, 

    2) does one such base already exist, or can you provide me with an
    accurate tracing of one, 

    3) would you like their edges beveled in any way, or is straight
    preferable, 

    4) are any drill-holes or recesses needed, and, last, but not least,
    where do I look, to find ovals with "5 sides"? {:o)! Seriously
    though, if you can flush-out the details a bit more, I should be
    able to both provide a quote and do the actual production of these
    for you. Give me a call, when time permits. Until then, 

    All my best, Doug Douglas Turet, GJ Lapidary Artist, Designer &
