Laser cutting of wood

First of all I want to say that if I am breaking any rules advertising my service I apologize for it. Please delete my thread in this case.

I just hope somebody can find my service in laser cutting very useful for their DIY projects.

Now, what I can offer is laser cutting of MDF, Plywood, softwood or even hardwood up to 19mm thick.
If you have some parts that are required to be made of these materials please PM me. I will need either DXF file or just simple vector file with your part drawn in 2d perspective. The best for vector files will be CDR format(Corel Draw) but eps or svg will work as well. AI files are not good because they come compressed and my software cannot open compressed files.

The parts I can cut out can be as big as 1000x700mm or anything smaller that fits into a panel of 1000x700mm size. It's the current size of the laser bed where I can get good cutting quality.

If you do not have any drawing for you parts I can do simple shapes myself but nothing too complex,sorry.

Re materials, MDF and plywood comes in huge panels so it won't be a problem to get material in panels with 1000x700mm size and thicknesses from 3mm and up to 18mm. However natural wood(pine and tassy oak for example) comes usually in 19mm thickness and the maximum width I have seen for non laminated pieces is 285mm wide. So please bear it in mind when asking me for your parts to be done in pine/oak.

P.S. After I solve some issues with a laser beam alignment I will be able to do parts up to 1290x890mm in size. This is a tricky laser machine that is using two laser tubes with beams combined. It is really hard to align them at every corner without help from a factory that made it. Unfortunately they are very slow on help so for now I have to use only part of my laser bed size.
