well with a vertical mill you could use a ball end mill or flycutting tool.
Depends how you attack it.

It's a Forstner Bit. Woodcraft has them here. But you can find them lots of places.

Forstner bits work vary well but you have to have a drill press to use them. I used a hole saw and a chisel to clear out the back of mine as I do not have all the tools I'd like to.

I imagine that a lathe with the bit in the chuck and the stock attached to the tool rest somehow would work really well too...

There are many ways to attack this project and no wrong answers.

You can get giant 2" ball nose end mills for around the $50 range. You would just need the swing for the long stock. You also rig your own set-up with a big drill press.
