As I said before I am making a small knife drawer with a removable
cutting board. The false front for the drawer is about 2 1/2 inches
wide by 14 inches or so long. Posted previously about the raised panel
look. Was basically told it would be hard to do on a table saw. (And my
router wont accept a 1/2 inch raised pannel bit).
I am lloking to somehow make the flat false front look more appealing.
Would going around the edges with a small Roman Ogee bit look ok? it is
about 1/2 inch thick. I mean going completely around all edges of the
drawer?

Try it on scrap and see what you think. Just rout the end grain first
to avoid tearout.

Is that considered a raised pannel? I did not know that. Every raised
panel bit I see puts a flat face on the board, so I guess I was not
thinking that a decorative edge could also be a raised panel.
Seriously, how do you think it would look?

Let's see...that would give you a <gasp> raised panel, wouldn't it?

Make a few fronts up from MDF and have at it.
If you are in to really screwing around, you
can use edge molding on a flat panel(draw front)
to create a "faux raised panel" look.
You can make raised panels on a table saw using
a proper jig.
It requires a lot more screwing around to settle on
a design, but it is certainly doable.
Go down to a home center and look at the drawers
very carefully to get ideas...
