Horizontal router table with a short convex fence and a regular beeding bit?
Larry, I think Rob and Jeb's ideas are looking at using a bit similar to this one...

I've got one that is smaller that almost comes to a point (1/16" flat area) having a 1/4" round-over.
Hey Larry you want me to do that with a router and take some pics to show you how its done? Its really easy.
i can almost fathom it being done but alan go for it.. and show all of us how..can you see the profile i am after alan in the sketch?
OK, maybe I am missing something but why not make in two pieces. Traditional sawing/bandsawing for the large arched piece. Routing the small curved piece with a beading bit (pic attacehd) on a thin strip, sand to final thickness, then glue, bend, clamp, trim to length. Seems doable to me.
