Roughing the Cove


I started roughing the cove of my pictureframe today.  

I am using a dado blade to remove the bulk of the material, and will follow this step with a core box bit to further refine the shape.  Note that I have left a small sliver of full thickness stock on what will be the interior edge of the frame.  This will allow the stock to sit face down & flush on my router table when it is time to further refine the curve.

The small dado you see is to accomodate the cocobolo inlay that will surround the outside edge of the frame
