you want round section or square?

Thanks for the help, NT. At the moment I've got a basic workbench, a
jigsaw (should be able to use that to cut the 'arch' shapes in the wood
and a Makita drill.

I don't mind buying a tool if it will be useful to have- I plan to do
more diy in the future.

As for the arch cross-section, I was thinking of about 2" wide by about
3" high, with rounded corners. What would be the best tool do do that?

I guess another question I have is are there any particular woods to
try to get/avoid?

Thanks for all advice.
