[QUOTE="TheMaestro, post: 312438, member: 8533"] Heres how I did it: - cut the wood to the right length, from bow to wherever it ends; for me it was the front bench. - cut the wood to the widest part ( again for me its the bench width). You should end up with a rectangular piece. - draw a line down the centre of the wood, from bow part to end. This should divivde the rectangle into two halves. - I then carefully measured across the bow every 6", then transfer that to the wood, using the centerline. So if the first measurement is say 9", then measure 6" from the end of the wood, then draw a line crossing the centerline, 4.5" either side of it. - repeat for the next 6", until you get to the end of the deck. - connect the ends of the lines, and you have a pretty accurate shape. I tried using cardboard to trace the shape, but it wasnt as accurate for me. Others have had great success with cardboard, so youmight try that first! [/QUOTE]
