I really like that door, Don!

On our interior bathroom door, I have it arched at the top.  I'm thinking of the best way to build the frame around the door w/ arch at top.  Was basically thinking of just cutting curved, but have also seen where people have set up homemade wood "steamers" so that they can curve the top frame to shape.

Any suggestions?

The doorjamb on this is layers of thick veneer glued up into the curved shape. The exterior brickmold was just sawn out and doesn't do a whole lot for me. For interior trim I've normally divided the curve into arc'ed segments. It looks ok. I've got tons of ripped strips, was thinking about trying to lemonade up a curve.
