I'm looking for an "easy" way of "drilling" concave holes (semi spheres) in
wood.
They are for decorative purposes, will be various sizes but not greater than
half the thickness of the wood (ie 30mm thick <mm radius) and will be
individually coloured.
Is there a tool that does this?
If not, I would appreciate ideas on how to go about this
regards

Yup a router, with some bits like this:

If you want a cheap and scabby machine just for this one off job then
any of the basic catalogue fooder will do the trick. e.g.:

If you want a decent one to keep then perhaps something like:

Very many thanks to you both.
I thought there might be a router cutters but couldn't find the right
terminology.
I'm having a not very bright day.
Thanks again
