[Shop-talk] Fwd: Re: cove (or 'dish') style cut on a piece of wood.

One way would be as you suggested, but easier with a radial arm saw.  Use a 
blade or a molding cutter head.  Lower the blade into the workpiece to the 
desired depth and turn the motor portion around to form the depression in 
the workpiece.
