    How can I make a deep, ellipse shaped hole with handtools?

    I'm working on a project which requires me to make a hole about three inches deep which is shaped like an ellipse. Is there a way to do this with hand tools and a drill? Oh by the way its not a hole that goes all the way through, so its really more of a deep mortise I guess.
