How would you create this curve feature?

I'm trying to recreate this bubble wand (but make it larger).
There are these channels that I'm having trouble recreating…
I was able to figure out that the feature is a swept cut of an arc that's projected down onto the faces below, however all my attempts to project the last portion of the arc down onto the face are failing. Pls help.

Hello. One method was used in this document.
First step after creating the toroid was to create a mate connector and to assign variables of angle and distance to it. The purpose of the mate connector is for a Split of the toroid. After the split, a sketch was created on the face of part 2 created by the split and elements of the edges of the face of the part were 'captured' with the Use tool to become the path for a sweep. The profile of the sweep was created on the flat bottom of the part 2. Then the sweep and a circular pattern of the sweep feature. A boolean is used to rejoin the parts created by the split.
A plane or surface could have been for the split, but a mate connector is, in my opinion, ideal because of its versatility.
