Wow that’s gorgeous. Nice curve.
Tell a dirty secret: It's asymmetrical.
I made a jig out of MDF, and was not able to rig up an arc cutting jig with a router that big, it's got like a 10.5 foot radius or something, so I used a thin offcut of oak I had lying around as a spline to mark it, roughed it out with a jigsaw and then sanded it smooth. It came out a little more concave on the left side. But, I only noticed that when I turned the part over on the jig, it differs by less than a quarter inch so I just...sanded it a bit more on the thick end and sent it.
