How would you cut this shape?

No points unless you've actually cut the wood and it works.

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 one, but I've seen (in person) the more common ones
like the impossible box. They look like a garbled mess of projectiles,
but when viewed from ONE angle and position, you get the illusion.

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.
