I need to make a fluted panel out of white oak for a piece I am working on and have come across panels like this on the internet. I have searched around and can't seem to find a decent router bit which will produce this effect. Am I being especially dim or is this some kind of dark magic?

Its called a cove shape individually but is more likely done on a spindle moulder with a fluting cutter which can do loads of coves at once.
 
Cheersfor the help - found some bits which will work with my router. Have a good jig so will try it out.

Thanks

Bowl and Tray bits have a different profile to the cove bits.
Bowl bits are really for putting a radius on inside of Bowl while at same time giving a flat bottom to the Bowl.

Ball nose/round cove bits generally only give a round flute whereas true cove bits give a shallower but more gentle hollow curve.without needing depths as deep.

This is more traditional bowl bitScreenshot_20241014_211208_Amazon Shopping.jpg
Whereas a shallow or crown cove bit is more like this
