Thanks, Paul! That's exactly the sort of information I was looking for. I'll get a hold of Ruth and get what I need. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the one chip on the left in the photo, since it's somewhat bowl shaped, shouldn't need any beveling. I'm assuming the beveling would be primarily for the part along the bottom right? Thanks again!
