Need a router bit

Hi. I need to get a bit that will produce the profile, below.

The height is 1". The depth is 1/8". The curve is smooth, the jaggedness is an artifact.

Anything reasonably close to this will do. The material will be black walnut.

Thanks for your help.

Some decorative edge don't match up easily with router bits.
Sometimes we have to improvise.
Looking at your picture, if I were trying to match the cut, I would start with a very large round-over bit.
Using a fence on the table router, I would clamp a board to the router table that allows me to run the board at a slight angle to the bit.
(With the outer edge of the board I'm cutting on top of the clamped board so that the edge facing me is up off the router table) I would experiment on a scrap first to adjust the clamped board closer or further to give me the angle I want. When it's close enough, your board will be run against the fence, but at an angle (not flat on the table).

make a line drawing

There is too much "jaggedness" in that photo to be useful. :surprise2:
Is it a continuous curve or are the indentations necessary? Go to the major router bit companies web sites. They will show the profiles of all their bits. You can probably pick one all by yourself that's close.
Infinity, MCLS, Amana, Freud, Yonico, Whiteside etc......
