Dean,
Here is a picture of the bit that I used for that set of frames.
Although I'd probably just use a 3/8" or 1/2" roundover bit for most of the stuff if I had one. I'd just use whatever bits I had handy and go from there.
The corners are splined to give additional surface gluing area as you can see in this picture.
I didn't like the finish on one of the frames so started giving it the '4 foot drop test'... Basically dropping it from shoulder height onto one of the corners on a carpeted floor. It lasted 42 times before a corner finally split apart.
