Creating a path from a picture

[Ofnuts]

Scaling to 971x1200, blurring, thresholding, fuzzy select and select-to-path gives a path of 400+ anchors. But the result isn't too accurate, since any technique that involves blurring rounds off the sharp points.

However, IMHO, doing it by hand would take 20-30 minutes and give a much better result. I reckon this an be done with 50 anchors or less, giving regular lines and sharps ends where needed.
