I am currently in the process of building a crib and trying to create this detail at the end of the slats. I have a 1/2" thick slat and trying to fit it into a 3/8" mortise.

I don't really want to buy a $100 router bit right now. I have a small round nose bit that I can use but it is not great quality. I was thinking of using my tenoning jig to cut the ends down to an even thickness....then using the bandsaw to cut the curve....and my spindle sander to clean it up. I have 40 slats to do which is 80 ends.
Anyone else have any ideas how to make it any easier or a better way to cut these?
Thanks for the help.
