right size for the inset: make it a little bigger than the oilstone. After all, the biggest problem is not that you can not put your oilstone in, the biggest problem is that you can not get your oilstone out (if the inset is just the size of the oilstone, the stone may get stuck and difficult to get it out)
After finishing the inset, plane was used to make bevel of the top of the box. This was my first time using plane to make the bevel. Thanks for Chris and Vaughn for showing me how the use the plane.
The final step is to make the hollow at the bottom. This is even harder than the inset. I used bandsaw, chisel and spike shaver and finally I got the shape of the hollow.
This is my finished oilstone:
