Braintrust: My morning has been a bust. I am struggling to make a ~2' curved runner to repair a child's rocker. Not a complete noob but it is my first time routing a curve.

I've tried pine, cherry, and oak. (I can use anything, itll be painted, these were scraps.) All three split or bucked at different points. I'm using a router table and pin with a nearly new flush trim bit (Rockler brand). Using the matching runner as a template. Rough cut within an ⅛" on bandsaw before flush trim.

Is it the wood, the grain, the router, the bit... or, as I suspect, the woodworker? Thoughts on how best to approach this?
