I cant think of a way to do it without using wood as a relief material but it looks like there using something else in there pictures.

Can you link to the photos of them cutting it?
A wood panel under the workpiece is one of the easiest ways to do it, plastic is a good substitute, but a bit more expensive. For accuracy, it's common to have the router face a small amount of material off of the top to true it to the spindle.
You can also get a vacuum table, but that is also more expensive.
