you might want to try getting two pieces of similar grain crown mouldin and ripping both into one eighth strips. alternate both sets of strips and reassemble on aform w/glue to the form you need. Careful alignment on glueup should return a piece that needs only minor cleanup

Wood Magazine about 10 years or so ago did an project on an armoire with a curved top to it. Sorry I don't remember or have the issue nearby. Try their website.
Good Luck.

I did a magazine run last night, and it turns out that the current Woodsmith has an article on arched molding. Don't know if it's exactly what you need, but it might be worth a look. Love these mags that have no advertising!
