Exterior Arch on Edwardian House
G'day guys,
I'm after some help on how I'd go about creating an exterior arch on the porch of an edwardian home. I've attached a pic to help explain what I'm talking about.
The question really is how do I go about bending the wood? Or is it a matter of joining a number of smaller pieces and using a router to cut the arch out of it?
Thanks.

I've not long finished one of these... sort of... search for Federation arch way

Yes lots of small (thin) pieces bent nad joined together... not the way you where think in think...
Or get a huge lump of timber and cut it out of one piece.... very impractical.Steven Thomas

Laminate the arch piece, using epoxy glue.
This will be stronger and better than the original.
