I have 4 doors and 4 drawer fronts that have a recessed panel with trim molding on the inside of the stile and rails. I don't know what the name of the style is, I'm sure it has one, but anyway the frames have a small rounded corner that the trim will go around. I started with the appropriate sized circles, routed the outsides, then cut 2 pieces out of each circle. That way I could get diagonal grain for each corner. The rest are pictures that pretty much show the process I'm using.
I'm also making the rest of the straight trim pieces. Rout the edge, cut off to width, rinse and repeat.
I see a lot of tedious hand sanding detail work in my near future.

Bently, that's a great solution to that particular problem, and when it's finished it will all look seamless and exactly how it should. It's a great example of totally unwavering commitment to doing it right. Thanks for posting
BB1, Thank You, It's Walnut wood. Soft easy to work with. Hardest part is getting consistant looking grain and color throughout the whole job.
Corelz, I cheated and had my neighbor CNC the circles blanks for me.
Thanks GR8, Pottz, Steve, Not a master by far, just a cabinet maker doing the best he can.
Splint, I talked them into it, they were originally asking for a slab door with plant-on's on the face. Ends up to be a lot of work, but it will be worth it in the end. (as long as I get paid)
L/W, This is what keeps it entertaining, otherwise it's the same boring stuff. Thanks
Renners, Thanks, Trying to keep up with your sashes. I think there is more detail work in yours actually.

I'll blame my phone for not showing the color clearly as hickory is nothing like walnut. 🤦♀️Walnut is my favorite so looking forward to seeing the completed doors (and of course, I'll ask what finish...always wanting to learn more!).
Detailing the corner pieces. Pieces were a hair thicker than what I made the long trim pieces, left a small ridge at the top that needed sanding of and the profile needs sanding. Camera flash made them look orange for some reason, there not though.
I started dry fitting the trim. Taking the rest of the day off to watch Football, Nascar, and relax....
