templating...

hey folks curious to hear how different people develop templates. i shaped 15 or so boards the last few months and had great results with templates traced from other boards. creating my own has been a bit trickier however. i’ve been using 1/8" masonite sheets ripped into 12"wide lengths and using thin wooden molding to curve along my points(nose,center,tail), but it still is not perfect. just wondering if anyones got any suggestions?..

Try fishing rods instead of molding(gives better curves)

thanks herb, was having temp. troubles today and tried this.worked like a champ although it took me and two helpers.should have thought of that on my own. thanks. mike
