I am going to make a more simplified version, will let you know how it turns out.
Will probably make a template, make a temporary router table out of a large sheet of ply or mdf, (maybe 1mtr square) and run the moulding off bearing cutter bits.
Just one more silly person question. If the curve was made up of shorter lengths, how would you join them?
thanks again

Some of my earliest colleagues in the trade began working in the 1930s and related hideous tales of flying cutters (usually from french or slotted heads) and poorly guarded machinery.
Strictly speaking limiters are a legal requirement for all hand fed work on a spindle. If working on a ring fence, don't even contemplate using anything without limiters.
