Anyone with any experience with using a template on a bandsaw? I see

I'd template rout, but there are a couple of sharp inside angles that
would have to be cleaned up anyhow, so if I could just do it on the
bandsaw that would be my preference.

What's the minumum diameter pattern routing bit that would cut a full
1.5 inches of depth?

bandsaws do inside corners fine, but they don't leave a great surface.
I'd probably bandsaw 1/8" oversize, clean up with the router and get
the corners with a chisel.

what are you making?

Decorative right angle supports for under the eaves of a building.
They're going to be a full 3" thick, which complicates things a bit.
