Yes, the cat approves, too!  Great job.  It is amazing how much you will use it, and you won't be able to understand how you did without it  ;D.  You did a great job on the match, too.

You use a raised panel router bit in a router table, at least that is how I have done it.

 There is also the stile and rail router bits that one needs. Also very recomended use of router table top do this.  :P

I have a shaper with all the bits

the shaper and the radial saw are in line, works good, I don't have a pic of the carbide bits

when I set the bit for the raze panel I use w pine to set it, then grab the r oak and push it through :o :o :o, wow that's not going to take that much wood off in one pass, I had to reset the shaper and take a little wood off at a time till I got to where I wanted to be
