Reproduce Wood Molding From a Small Sample

My father has custom kitchen cabinets, and when he decided to add a few more cupboards, he was unable to find matching molding trim for the doors.  He sent me a sample, and I made some more of it using Autodesk Inventor and the Shopbot.

I scanned the small sample on a flatbed scanner. I imported this image into Autodesk inventor, and reproduced the profile using a series of spline curves. Once I was satisfied that my profile was "close enough", I made an extrusion of the sketch.  I limited it to 12" long, as I wanted to check the profile against the sample before committing the time and hardwood to the project. 

I exported the extrusion in the STL format, and loaded it into Vectric's Cut3 tool-path software, and created a cut file.  I selected an 1/8", ball end router bit to do the cutting. 

I made a jig to hold the wood piece firmly in place while the cutting was happening.  Using scrap lumber I made a fence on one side to support the cut piece, and a pair of wedges to tightly push the cut piece against the fence.

After zeroing the X Y and Z axis, run the job and watch the machine do the work. 

I ran two tests - one cutting along the long axis of the wood, and the second "up and over" the short dimension.  I was surprised to see the second one gave much better results. 

Well, pretty well done, at least.  The profile is quite close, and for the next iteration I'll tweak the profile a little bit, use hardwood, and make sure it is exactly the same width as the sample.
