: What tool did you use to cut out the final edge shape?

Japanese saw, block plane, rasp, file, sandpaper, anything that works to get the decorative strips to match the ring beneath. I use the lot. It helps to have a piece of cardboard on the deck below the area being worked on to reduce cursing in the workshop.

To shape and smooth the inside I use the ROS, a rasp, and sandpaper. Then a rollover bit in the router to round the edges, bigger for inside the ring, smaller for outside. Then more sandpaper. God, we must love sanding, or we wouldn't do it I guess.
