Lets see.

Take a picture.
Pass the resulting jpeg to the CAM software.
Send the resulting G-Code to the router.
Put wood on the router table.
Press Start.
Go have a sandwich.

I do think it's cool. Much better than dead babies.

That might work for getting a roughed out blank, but you'll still have weeks of carving ahead. Especially with wood, where things like those notebook rings tend to snap off.

Yeah, the router will get you to picture one. Pictures 2, 3 and 4 require hand carving. Routers can't do thing like carve the ends of the scallions. They can't get underneath.

This guy is very talented.
