To do the jambs if it's a slight arch or eyebrow I make a reverse template / jig and laminate 1/8- 1/4" material and glue it up then bend it over jig while glue is still wet . If its a tight radius I cut out the arch on a band saw from wide boards n glue them up . As for the trim you have to make a jig and send it thru a molding machine. If its paint grade you could use rubber flex jamb and trim but I try not to because it dimples when u nail it and looks like crap
