What kind of work are looking to have done?  Turning? Milling(3,4 or 5 axis)? Material type  and volume of work would also be useful!

Not something I can help with directly as we're not set up for machining wood. 

If I were you i'd try contacting some pattern makers for the castings industry.  They specialise in machining complex shapes from wood.  Alternatively as your probably only wanting simple 2d routing i'd try a furniture maker like;

http://www.kmfurniture.com/ or similar local to you...

it may also be worth speaking to ned, as they have done stuff like this before.
