I used a piece of string and a nail and pencil, I think I had 87" or 89" for the radius. My panel is 45" wide and the center of the curve is 3" higher then the edges. I just marked the one end, cut it out and then marked the other piece with the first one. Once the second one was cut out I clamped both pices together and sanded both pieces at the same time. It actually turned out pretty good considering I only had an old cheap jig saw to cut the ends with. Hope this helps you out.
