I have heard that tempered glass can't be cut from a lot of people, and
while I wouldn't take the job on personally I have had a glass shop cut
curved tempered glass successfully before. They won't guarantee that they
won't break it in trying, but it has been done. There's even a decent
chance that a whole, usable piece of glass can be found on a lengthy
excursion to a boneyard, armed with detailed measurements and a profile
template of the curve, which would be my first try.
