That will leave a 'sloppy' insert You need to rout an intermediate template in MDF then rout the template required
If you rout a template with a 16mm template guide and a 4mm cutter then you can rout the shape you require into the oak frame with a 30mm guide and 10mm cutter. Don't ask me to do the calculations in imperial as it is some 40+ years since we went metric.

Inlay Sets - Lee Valley Tools
Not sure exactly how big your heart is, but here goes. I use a bushing inlay kit 1/4" bit to get to having a 3/4" template then using carpet tape position template where I want to inlay and the go to a larger bit with bearing of the bit size on the shank and do the cut out for the inlay. While it has an extra step, which has been pointed out, I use this method for inlaying intarsia opjects all the time. Hope this helps you out and understand there are many ways to do this, but I have found this to work for me.

Not much of a computer buff as I took my new '3' mobile broad band and set it on the old computer and presto I was able to post
