Making wooden sandals (Scholl's style)

Step 3 Rough cut out

There is a registration problem between the routing and the outline, so for the second pair I made I decided to do a rough cutout first, then machine the surface of the sandal, then do a final cut around the outline. Here I am about to cut the two rough outlines from the blank. Note that one of the blanks is inverted (the upper side of the two sandals are on opposite sides of the wood blank).
