I considered something similar myself, but have decided against it. If you start working with routers, there are all sorts of pits to fall into. You need a really fast and powerful router, extremely sharp bits, and the jig has be so stable as to not allow any vibrations or movement at all, otherwise you end up with something that looks half-baked. You'll end up with fluffed up fibres, and torn edges and wobbly curves and all sorts.
I'd rather use hand tools and drop the pretense of perfection in favour of the handmade feel. In exchange for that I get clean cut surfaces, and a lot less faffing around.
