You could start with a drill and drill bits to remove most of the wood.
It 'wood' save a lot of work.
Go all the way through with the drill, then even up the edges with the
router.

I think it's a good idea too. It might even save a router bit or two.

Thanks,
Bill


You're likely going to end up using a chisel to square the corners, so
just drill and buy a good mortice chisel. Forget the router.

Read DougVL's approach above. Seems to be lots of ways to get the job done,
some ways definitely seem to be a lot better than others and some seem to be
matters of style.
I think once you "hog off" the wood, both approaches wood work. Thank you
for your suggestions.
