Any ideas?

With a gentle curve like you drawing shows you can easily rip 1/4"
strips and attach. Oak will very easily bend tighter than that. Glue
and brad or pin.

The other option is not to put a curve on it to begin with. This is
particularly true if you don't have tools to shape and smooth the curve.
This type of "bridge" commonly has no curve so that option may not be as
nice, but still worth consideration.

I have had some success with curves:

Yes!

I just think the curve is more elegant looking. Anyway, pattern-routing is fun. Although in this case
I will have to use the router handheld rather than my (small, crappy) table.

In that case, 1/4" oak should be no problem, as Leon suggested.
Particularly quarter sawn (straight grain)
