Making Catch-Alls / Valets

Happy Saturday, makers. I’m wanting to make valet/catch-alls out of hardwoods, and also be able to engrave with designs and personalized options carved inside. I can’t find any files on this, and not sure really where to start. I’ve watched some youtube videos but none really help with the toolpaths.

I assume it’s with a 1/4 endmill and then a bowl bit to clean it up? Any guidance especially for the toolpaths setup would be fantastic. Looks like it shouldnt be too too hard, but not sure where to start.

I know you said you watched some videos, but I just happened to be browsing the C3D YouTube channel. I hope one of these helps.
