What would be  the best way to  make the holes?

 

Maybe 40mm diameter ...

One of these on a simple tilting or curved jig should do it.

Be aware that it's very easy to leave burn marks on this sort of work. A variable speed heavy duty router would be best running at low speed. Get near to final depth and make very light but relatively swift final pass. A bit of practice on some spare wood of the same species will prove invaluable. Keep the cutter moving with no pausing but it's all easier said than done though.

Don't think my cheapo lidl router would be up poweing bits with 40mm diameter

With a core box cutter bit, you can cut a half-round groove in the diameter of the bit.
