Custom trim for round top window

We'll soon be installing a large vinyl round top window in our new house, which means I'll need to make some cedar trim to match the rest of the house.

The standard trim is just flat 1x4's, so I'll need to make something with a curve to fit the round top window.

I thinking I'll join a few 1x6's together at 22 degree angles, then draw out the circle and cut it out. My big concern is how to join the pieces together so they'll hold up out in the weather.

I don't have a biscuit joiner, so what would be the best way to join the segments together?

Hope this makes sense...

Use splines and dadoes cut in the ends of each board... This will be stronger than biscuits....

A tenoning jig is really handy for this operation...

How about half lap joints?

Get a quote on the circle head trim.

It will be more that the cost of the biscuit joiner and the materials combined.

In other words, the biscuit joiner is free.

This is fair. They do it to us all the time.
