A gouge is the way to go, probably.
Lay out your lines with a knife wall, and chisel out either side so there is a shallow “V” shape channel. This provides a nice channel to guide a gouge to make a half-round shape. Use the gouge to make the round ends of the channels.
I’m not much of a carver and only have a handful of gouges, so I’m not sure what to suggest for the size of the gouge. A #7 may be too shallow, so maybe a #9?
