Serhly it’s a secret.
Only joking, I clamped my top rail in place on top of board. Then I used a hole cutter in a bit of MDF, the piece in the hole cutter was about 1 1/8″ in diameter. I then used this to scribe the shape in pencil first then I lightly used a marking knife. Once that was done I used marking knife free hand.
I then very very carefully used hand router to make the quirk to knife line about 3/64″ deep. I then used rebate plane to make other quirks doing bottom first as it is end grain.
I then used a bench rebate plane No. 10 1/4 to do chamfer on three straight sides. On the curve I mainly used a sharp 1″ chisel and a shoulder plane and bit of sandpaper.
I then put a rebate around edge so would fit into groove in frame.
