Lumber defects, veneer adhesion

Q: I'm using some 2-inch-thick lumber to make kitchen work tops. This wood has some defects, like knots. I cannot figure out how to use my hand router to cut out these defects in a curved cut and then end up with two tight fitting pieces. Any pointers to find which way to do this would be much appreciated.
