Yes... good point . That could work with 3 axis and multiple setups.

V-bit carving is an obvious way to get some inside corners on
limited shapes that I should have mentioned since I do it all the time
for sign lettering. A program to do this that fits hobbyist's budgets
is called vcarvz. It is available from Fred (IMservice) on this list
as a demo.

Other methods we have discussed must be used for vertical walls
or compound curves like cove molding.
