I had to make a couple minor changes but that worked perfectly! Thank you so much for the help. I'll post a pic once I'm done painting it. I like the way it rounds the top instead of just a flat cut like I had.
I have a neat way to clean up the edges that I posted a few days ago, but many here are sceptical. I am working on a job carving 96 intricate pieces and the cutout never is exact. I mounted an old 1/8" cutting bit in my router table and placed a sheet of melamine coated hard board with a 1/8'+ hole in it on top of the table. You have to hold tight and work slowly, watch the grain direction - it takes practice - but it is working great for me. If the pattern is not intricate, use AskBud's suggestion an use a guide pin.

I use a Mini router table to do that it feels a little safer then my large routers.
