How would I cut solid wood to shape?

From your original post I'd thought just the arch was curbed. Even
so, easy enough to make from solit wood. Just cut the curve in multiple
pieces and glue together, or cut small pieces, and put together. Or you
could use plywood. You plan on painting anyway, so any joints will be
covered. Or, just make a curved front arch, then make a flat top
behind that. No prob.

Being as you're gonna paint, and no loade will be placed on the
top, you could probably even mold it out of sawdust clay.
