It's sorta been done by the artistic movement that swept the gangster industry when they introduced water ballet and concrete boots. They had technical difficulties in actually get the profiles of the feet though.

Actually it is a common art form, my wife used to do it in her elementary school classroom. Simply use a projector to shine a light and the student sits still whilst the artist traces the shadow of the subject on a piece of paper.

You could then Xerox shrink the drawing and make a template to do basic turning to duplicate the forn on a piece of wood. My guess the turner in question used a duplication lathe to follow an outline of a similar drawing.

Yes, it'd be a simple matter to make a template from a profile photograph. But I wouldn't tell my customers that... not until after they'd stuck their head in the bucket. ;)

Expect me to work to order will they? http://www.ubeaut.biz/laughdevil.gif
