help w/reverse engineering a part

I am trying to get my CNC machine to cut violin parts. I have done this the old world way for 20 years with chisels, gouges, hand planes etc. Arthritis is getting the best of me and I need help from technology.

 

If I hand carve the part would the CNC machine work better with a .step file or .stl file? Also will fusion 360 convert a .step file to "G-code"?
