Rolf,

Here's a thought...

Make a fixture that will hold a rectangular piece of your stock where only the outside edge is formed for 1/2 of your desired shape. And it's clamped in place.

Take a piece, large enough to fill your space with some hanging over the outside edge.

Route 1/2 of the piece.

Flip and route the other half.

At this point, you have One finished edge of your desired result.

NOW, place a spacer in the fixture so that if the same workpiece was put back into it, it would hang over the edge far enough so that when you route again, the piece left over will be what you're after. Route as before cutting a piece off the end of the board, which is what you're after.

The first piece could be the big piece for the Header... insert spacer & route the Footer (slightly smaller by the spacer).

For the small, narrow piece, insert a spacer to get the width desired.

Would be a piece of cake!!

I hope I described good enough to understand what I was thinking.
