Does anybody know of a good online source for v-carve images that are ready to cut? Or almost ready to cut? I know I can do google image searches for SVG files, but most would require extensive modifications to close the tool paths and ensure the feature widths are OK for v-carving. (I don’t have a bit setter, so I can’t use advanced v-carve for flat-bottom carving.)
I’m looking for a quick-turn source since I’m making a Mother’s Day gift. I’m happy to pay for the files if necessary.
There are some links at:

Here’s a quick design.
First, set some text:
Delete the O and re-size the heart, then select the heart and offset it by some reasonable distance:
Use as a V carving either as a stand-alone sign, or to decorate a box (e.g., https://willadams.gitbook.io/design-into-3d/3d-project )?

Thanks, Will. I really appreciate you taking the time to answer so thoroughly. I wanted something geometric, so I ended up going with a Celtic spiral from one of the links you posted. I’ll try remember to post the finished product tomorrow.
For Celtic things please see:
and also consider:
Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction by George Bain — the first correct book on Celtic knotwork and Aidan Meehan’s wonderful books EDIT: which benefit greatly from Bain’s insights.
