On a more serious note (or maybe not, but this is what popped into my head) couldn't you do that cove thing on the table saw? You know, the thing where you run it over the blade at an angle? (I could go look it up in the book, but I'm just too lazy right now.)
I think he needs a fairly small radius.

going the router bit way, a gouge is used by purist but I know I would wreak a project using that.

buying a router bit is also the way to build up your router bit collection.
thanks guys
