Thanks! I jointed the stick straight, planed it for thickness and width, used a shaper to chamfer and the side dados. Sled jig with stop to cut to length, then sled jig with shaper for end dados. I built a carousel jig for tha bandsaw for the rough radius, then used a belt sander with a right angle table to smooth them out. I make extensive use of micrometers and digital readouts in my shop; very accurate sizing is the key to getting something like this together without gaps.
