I second the pattern following cove bit.  Use a holesaw to make a hole 
of the desired diameter in a piece of hardboard or plywood and carve out 
the wood.  If you want a more of a dished hole insead of a flat bottom 
one, have several circle templates.  Start with smaller one and go a bit 
deeper the move up to larger circles and cut shallower.  You will then 
have to use some sort of sanding/carving method to taper the routed bits.
