[QUOTE="Bob Landry, post: 229462, member: 7025"] Use a contour guage. It's a tool with rows of tiny rods sticking through a block. Press it into the contour you need to copy then lay it out on brown paper and mark that for a pattern. Then use the pattern to mark the wood you want to cut. it's just about idiot proof and will give you an exact contour. You can get it at a tool specialty place, maybe even Home Depot or Lowes, for around $10 or so. Well worth the investment considering the time you save with freehand pattern making. [/QUOTE]
