Having a CNC machine is what got me interested in wooden gears. I tried several gear generators, woodengears.ca, the Inkscape add-on, and a couple others and then finally bought a gear design package

Gearify is another choice for decorative gears. It’s semi-abandonware, the developer still sells it, but there’s no active development. The generated tooth shape (per Art) isn’t very good for load bearing, but the results look cool.

I’ve only used the demo, haven’t actually cut any gears from it
