You may consider using a template and a 3 flute following (more flutes, better finish) bit with a router......
If you have the ability, you can clamp several pieces together and do them all at one time if your following bit is deep enough.
Cut the piece close to size, clamp or fasten to the jig then route to final size.
Create the template then use the following bit to create copies.
Hope this helps....
