    ... but this does not count!

    With a router I would do exactly as Jim suggested ..

    Very nice Derek. My first thought was a plow plane or even a scratch stock, after wasting out the groove in the center, but I couldn't figure out how to do the corners. The end grain might be a bit of a problem, too. And, of course, my lack of a plow plane is an impediment as well.

    In any event I'll be milling lots of extra stock for practice.
    I’m not sure you can get a rabbeting bit wide enough to accomplish the zero clearance fence , you might need a three wing slot cutter which most likely means you’d need to raise the bit and make multiple passes to get the full width of the groove.

    The groove is about 1/2". I do have a stackable 3 wing slot cutter that might work. I also have a much larger (in diameter) 1/4" shaper rabbeting cutter that almost certainly will work with a zero clearance fence on the shaper.

    Do you have a quirk bead cutter for your shaper?

    No, but I'll have one from Amana for my router table by Monday or Tuesday.

    Hmmmm, looks similar to these parts I made last year. I used a rabbeting bit and appropriately sized bearing to clear the inner field and then cut the beads with Rockler beading bit #91826. I did need to slightly "modify" the beading bit for my purposes.... but a few minutes of careful time on the bench grinder got me where I needed to be

    I needed the bearings as my parts were curved, so no reason you should't be able to do the same on your rounded corners.

    good luck,
