OK here it is...

Im trying to cut frames, panel frames to go behind irregularly shaped sculptures. For example if it were a scultpture of an apple, the frame [really a plank of pine] would be cut to follow the general contours of the apple. The wood is painted black and end of story. The frame is really backdrop upon which the scultpture sits or hangs rather.

I cant have a jigsaw edge it needs to have this smooth bevel or the whole thing is awful.

Thanks in advance.
