Got a request last night the make one of these and honestly it's the first time in my life I've ever heard of a labyrinth. Saw an image of it and it looks like a nightmare to bitmap trace and figure out how to toolpath. Maybe use a cove bit?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This one doesn't trace too bad. Would take a bit of work to get a centerline for it, but could do a v-carve with a ballnose/corebox to get close. Could also model it and cut as 3D with an offset strategy.

It wouldn't be terrible to design it in one quarter and then flip copy and then do the needed editing.
