How would you cut this shape?

With Photoshop.

It does not indicate whether it is/can be two pieces. If so it is rather simple. If not I can make it with a 3 passes on a table saw with a dado blade.

Things like this really annoy me because they always post a single photograph that has some play with the lighting. If its a real puzzler, there shouldn't be any problem showing multiple views with good light. Otherwise, its a just an optical illusion.

You need a very special router cutter - an escher bit...

Sometimes, these objects are done by arranging the final cut in a position such that the camera gives the Escheresque appearance. The piece, viewed from another angle, could actually be in multiple pieces. More likely, it 'sticks out' in different directions and has the seam hiddle by the sitting girl.

I haven't seen this >
