looking for concave stock...

Not sure it you can buy stock of the specific size you need, but you can purchase a router bit to cut the groove that you want. Of course, it depends on the radius of your chips, but there's a variety of sizes you can choose. Here's a few samples. If these aren't large enough, then it's a simple matter of making two parallel cuts instead of one exact cut to fit.

Just one more point:

Make the stock thicker than needed for handling over the router (or shaper?) ...for safety. Then cut down to size on the table saw. If doing 2 or more, it's handy to do one side, turn over for the other, then saw down the middle.

OR use a drill bit the size that you need , drill into a over size block of wood, then cut in two.

This article might be of use: "Cutting Coves on the Tablesaw," in the January/February 2004 issue of Fine Woodworking (#168).

I'd start with wide stock, use double fences, push blocks, and very light passes. You'll want all ten when you are done :-)

I think I have a whiteside 1 1/2" cove bit I could sell you.

Gosh Steve, What kind of router does it take to swing that bit? Does the 1 1/2" indicate the radius or diameter of the cove? :-)

Collet diameter

Only sensible response so far.

Or cove cut it on your tablesaw.

diameter I think. I use a 2" in my table for the finger grooves. but I sure don't take much off (G)

LOL...................

Well, Norm had a 1 1/2" radius ovolo bit. :-)

Some of these panel raising bits scare the p.. out of me. I can't imagine using a 3 hp power tool that's not stationary. That's why I like your jointer plane. It has hp that I'm comfortable with.

I looked I only had the 1" and the 2" i think the both are 2" around and have a
