That looks much better! I will try and cut it tomorrow. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thank you all for the help!

This one was made with a ShaderMap Pro PTN.
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.

Your welcome, I use Dura-grit Tungsten Carbide burrs, they cut fast and last a long time, cost a lot though. http://www.duragrit.com/
