He cut it off in a longitudinal "slice" forming a slight V shape, then superglued the base wrapping thread, added the cork, thinnest edge down, then over tied a few wraps, almost like a rib effect back to the eye.
Cut off excess behind hook (not a v long body) then tie normal daddy style - legs, wings, hackle.
I must say he cut a much thicker body than I'd have gone for if I was to try it myself, but I copied his dimensions and they worked. Viewed from below, you can go quite thick on the cork above the hook since that dimension is not easily determined when the hook is riding correctly.
Shape a bit like this end on \_/

Could be worth a try too, tho hand cutting produces some variation which may not be a bad thing.
