What a good idea. Don't know why I didn't think of that myself., and

it
would be a fun project.

Any advice as to what wood/what tools I'd need? I've got a jigsaw, so

I
should be able to cut an arch shape, but what would I use to round

the
edges with? I want it to look reasonably well done since it will be

in
a very prominent position.

Thanks for any advice.


I think a router would be the clear winner, but failing that one could
simply sand it to get smooth results, with rather more work.

A square base plate could be sawn, a round one could be made on a
drill, using it as a lathe, with an angle grinder as the cutting tool.

What tools have you got? Out of router, plane, sanders, lathe, etc? Do
you want round section or square?
