I'm a big believer in using a router table. One can be built very easily. Here's one I built and have used for years.

When routing a body shape you need to pay attention to the direction of the cutter with respect to the grain of the wood. Sometimes you go in one direction ............ sometimes in the other. I think of it as "making sure the cutter isn't cutting uphill into the grain". Maybe someone else has a better way of describing it.
