Randy:
Your picture has been reduced too small at too low a resolution to make out. To post it it is better to leave the size as is and just reduce the resolution.

The picture you were trying to upload might not have gone through correctly. The image I am seeing is just a few distorted pixels. Try uploading the full sized image. The forum software will re-size it.

Image is so small I can't see what it is.
Edit: Boy everyone jumped on on that - Dave won!

This will take a few different operations in AC Pro. You can do it by defining the vectors for the shapes, do a 2 rail sweep for the raised borders, Shape editor for the center raised areas (They may do better with 2 rail sweep as well) and v-carve for the engraved veins. You will start with a small raised flat area for the entire piece using shape editor.
It's not phenomenally difficult and could actually be a really good learning exercise.
Anyone who does it for you should know what overall size you need and how thick it is as well.

You can also probe it with the SB probe or send it out to be laser scanned.

Draw the outline of the veins, join it, use shape editor to subtract.
Set it up as a seperate toolpath to cut as a relief with your v-bit!
