Praying Soldier

I made a "praying soldier" yard silhouette piece for a lady who found me on Craig's List. Stands about 30" tall and about 40" wide - Check out the pictures! All I had to work with was an image of the piece she wanted, so I loaded that into Adobe Illustrator and "Live Traced" it. Then I saved it as an EPS file and imported it into Mastercam and set the toolpaths for machining it. Next I loaded a large piece of MDF and Hardboard on to the router and clamped it down (sorry no pictures of the actual cutting process) and cut it out! :) Not too bad for my second piece of this machine!
