This is some great stuff! I would be interested in creating a stone arch bridge on a curve. I have seen examples of this but would like to see examples of the process to create one.

Determine your height and width requirements, lay them out on a piece of foam and place a circular object such as a plate or a cookie can lid or your layout marks. Scribe the arc, cut it out slightly oversize with a keyhole saw, coping saw, steak knife or similar. Then use a wood rasp to remove foam to your scribe line.
Do you have any examples you could share?

Actually, I think I misread your request. After looking at Art's thread, I think that's the way to go (1/4" foam over Masonite) for building a curved masonry bridge.
