			'''Some collected thoughts on laser-cutting picture frame'''

			Asked in slack and on facebook:
			Does anyone have any thoughts on finishing laser-cut picture frames?
			I could cut multiple parts out of 1/8th" or 1/16th" material and glue together, but my real concern and question is about finishing the edges.
			MDF or acrylic would have a clean edge, and the whole thing could be painted... but what if you were using 1/8" or 1/4" plywood?
			Can you think of a material that would be better for picture frames?
			How hard is it to work with a stick-on veneer?
			What kind of paint?
