 take two
I'm not sure you can route with the grain on a project like this, at some points the you will be going up grain. But I think I have a solution for you and I think Bob and Rick had a tip on this at sometime or other.
What I might try is to make some chip breaks by bring the cutter into the curve in position 1 then again at 2 and again at 3 and maybe you will need a 4 and 5 but the idea is to come straight in at those points so if as you round the corner if it does chip it only goes as far as the chip break.
If someone remembers where's and when's of the BobandRick post or what it was called that might help as they can explain it better then I did.
