There's a few ways to do it, but yeah - I used seven or eight different router templates to get the contours roughed in. You could probably do it by hand I think, as it's not too crucial they're in the right place (although predictably there's discussions online as to which are the proper 'vintage' contours...).
Some people use a copy carver:

Which is a bit of a time / space investment to make.
I'd love to be able to do it with gouges and thumb planes, but I don't have the skill.
Really struggled with it oddly enough - this was my practice run :o ...
