A carpenters trick is to; - place the teak against the mast - gauge the widest gap between the teak and the mast (outer edge) - wrap tape around a pencil same amount as gap (This will give you the widest point) - hold teak against mast, and trace the pencil (with tape) along the mast starting from widest point to the other end of the piece of teak. - this results in the exact curvature you need. - sand / cut (drum sander or otherwise)
Contour gage works just as well, but if you don’t have one, and don’t plan to use it often, the above saves some money. /J > On Feb 9, 2018, at 9:18 PM, Dennis C. <capt...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Tape a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to the mast.
