Hi George

Just my 2 cents

I would not use poplar for the purse handles, I would use something like soft maple if you want the look of light wood...poplar likes to splinter not to talk about the green look plus ( upgrain cut thing )

1. Flush Trim Bit top Bearing with 1/2" cutter.
2. Straight bit two flute, 3/16" diameter cutter/ 1/2" depth.

I will enclose photos of what she wants..when I can.
