Metalhead28 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 This question has been asked a lot. I use a cove router bit chucked in my drill press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcovis Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I use gouges and sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I use a round nose bit with a top mounted bearing to follow a template. This way you can make recesses of any shape. The rest is sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
