what's the best way to shape the edge of a radiused piece of wood? I'm
designing a circular table for SWMBO, and I wanted to put some sort of
detail on the edge... is it reasonably easy to run through a shaper?
Never tried to put a radius through the shaper, I can see that a concave
radius doesnt work, but the convex radius of a circle could work...
thoughts?

They both work. Use a "horseshoe" guide, with a roller on each side of
the cutter and adjust its depth relative to the cutter.
If it's a big tabletop, I'd use a handheld router and take it to the
tabletop, rather than the other way around.

Not sure what you mean by this. Is it a full bullnose, or corner radius,
or what? If there's a contact point at a consistent height in the edge,
than Andy's horseshoe guide will work, or you could use the slightly
simpler pin and bearing.
