Buy some plywood and cut it out with a jigsaw?

I've never seen mouldings of a great enough radius to make the top and bottom of a doorway - I presume you mean the aperture through the bulkhead? I have a similar raw edge on the ply cover for the anchor locker moulding and have been mulling it over.
I am considering bending and gluing a strip along the edge either side and after truing it up, bending and gluing a third strip across the assembly. The only trouble is that I don't think I'll be able to run the router around it in situ to get a nice shaped finish. The other option is to laminate the whole thing on a jig and then rout it before fitting.
I've been looking at suppliers such as KJ Howells, found on-line by Googling "teak mouldings", but I've only just started searching in earnest.
