Todd ,
Thanks for giving me an idea for another use of my motorized radius dish jig. I see no reason why I couldn't put my work dish in the sanding jig and place 1/4" dowels in holding position. And just turn the dish on the lazy susan to position it. Maybe add a hold down clamp to keep it from spinning while shaving the braces.

Lie Nielson block plane for the radius, then ibex finger plane, schneider plane and japanese paring chisels (usually either 3/4" or 1") for shaping. I also have various sanding sticks that I use for the finishing touches...
