River,
How big are the baits your making?
Are you familiar with pattern routing?
You could cut a pattern out of hard board. Then rough cut your baits on the band saw leaving two of them connected by the tails (similar to how My lures baits are). Stick your pattern on with Double stick tape cut them to final size with a router.
Jed,
I have to agree with Skeeter. I cut mine just outside of the line and use my 1x30 belt sander to clean up the cuts.
If I am going to cut out more than one, I will cut out one thick profile and then slab them off at whatever individual thickness that I want.
