Conflagration

That looks really great! Would you be able to help me out with a template? Also, I was thinking of making the flat part of the body (not the beveled part. I'm bad with terminology ) mirror the overall shape, including the bevels. It would be easier to make it accurate by just using a template and a router table. I'm sure this would come out alright. Anyone disagree?

I have both, but thanks for the advice. Anything else I should remember?

Yeah, anything that follows the contour of the body is pretty easy to do. It's hard to do the spines though, since they stick out.

So the jig would be angled? Like this? /| (Excuse the bad diagram)

So what would I use to blend it in? Would I carve it by hand then sand it? Or cut away part of the beveled edge and smooth it out?

Has anyone here made one from scratch? I'm trying to build one, but I don't know how I'd make the bevels. The problem with them is that they go up to ridges, as you can see there. They also don't follow the profile of the flat part, which would be tricky to do without a CNC machine.
