I want to make some concave recess in a large piece of wood.
First thought was to do some offset turning but it is too big to put on a lathe also my injured digit will get in the way.
I though of grinding a spade bit to the required shape but the largest I can find is 40 mm I need 55 mm.

Any ideas?:thinks:

Take a guess
Router, particularly if the bottom of the hole needs to be flat, guide bush & circle jig if it needs to be perfectly round.
