Do you have a photo or drawing of the profile in hand? Maybe we could give you some advice in cutting it yourself if we know what it looks like.

 Jigsaws blades bend and can cause crooked cuts.

 Use a router with a 1/4" (I think)  rotozip bit.
Thats what Ive done when I wanted to cut curves.  Cuts like a hot knife thru butter. 

 Or, you might just get a rotozip tool.   Ive not used one.   The  bits are
a little thinner, and prone to bend a little - unlike the larger 1/4" size that
will fit the router.  However,  even a little flex is not bad compared to the
flex and trouble with jigsaws. 

  Rotozip bits cut much faster and less effort required than using a standard router bit, or jigsaw.

 Though, just about anything you use will most likly need a good sanding
and final shapeing with sanding tools. (unless you have a perfect rail guide template)   A simple drum sander attachment that will fit a drill may work ok.  Finish with hand sanding.
