Pyramid Lanterns

Step 3 Cut out the Designs

The wood was cut into triangles and then the designs were painstakingly routed out of each one. This seemed to be the biggest pain-in-the-ass step, and Stephen says that he went through a lot of router bits to make all the lanterns.

Once cut out, the designs were sanded roughly to make the curves a little smoother.

Here are three more photos of the tracing/cutting process:
