Coasters with inlay

I am wanting to make a coaster that is groves out a bit and then have a design on the bottom. Not sure how to go about this. Can someone help me out?

Draw a piece of geometry inset from the edge of the perimeter:

Then assign a Pocket Toolpath to the desired depth:

Create a design:

then apply a suitable toolpath to it which starts at the bottom of the previous toolpath:

Then, cut to the outer perimeter
