A simple set of tesselated M.C. Escher fish. Martin Raynsford (link below) provided the original fish DXF, but I have added a frame sized for 42 fish.
Martin's suggestion is to stain some wood light and some dark and cut two different colors of fish for neat patterning.
Here's a link to Martin's blog entry with the original design.

Here's a link to one of the photos on my Flickr; browsing around will reveal additional photos of the process I did not post here:

And here's a video of the laser cutter cutting two fish, my favorite part is seeing the part drop when the cut is completed:
