Once upon a time, I managed a door & window millwork shop and there are machines that could router (both sides simultaneously) this bed wood profile in about one minute. This was a CNC controlled operation; ornate crown molding, etc.
If I was still working there, it's a guarantee I'd be moonlighting stacks & stacks of Stovebolt bed wood - especially with the profit margins I see. (Of course in that scenario, I'd have $0 invested in the machine).
Deve you've got this no problem at all ; I've seen your work. Brad Allen mentions some great advice in "measure twice and cut once." His pilot hole recommendation concerning the forstner bit sounds like the voice of experience... I laughed about it because you CAN most definitely booger up your wood if you don't drill a smaller pilot hole.

mick53, I hope we aren't intruding on your thread; given your line of work, I would use some old-growth heart pine. I made a good portion of the furniture in my house out of SYP "barnwood", and you'd also have the "original" adjective as an added bonus.
