Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Just get the wood stencils from a vendor. I hated the NAFA things Didn’t you post one that you could print out on a regular printer and tape it together?

Now that I think about it, there was a PDF that you could print from but most people don't have access to a printer big enough to do this. No, that's not it. The other one came as a print out for standard copy paper took several pages, with each being a different part of the pattern. You overlaid the sheets and taped them together to form the entire pattern. I'm not sure who hosted it, but there must not of been any money in it so it was taken down.

I just did this with the paper (sent free from either NAFA or FHA, I don't remember).
Not the best option but if you go the paper-route:
Take the extra time to make a Template FROM the paper-template on like cardboard or thin plywood or something. My ovals are "crappy but effective I guess."

Seems pretty easy to me mark center on your board. Draw the lines so they go all the way across the board. Lay the first segment at the center make your mark then just flip that segment to the other 3 corners. Then do that same with the next segments,

Hey Posco if you would like a couple of beaver boards the next time I come up to camp in Milo Maine I'll bring them with me.
You can have them for free.
I have these as xtras and haven't used them in years. That's very kind of you for offering. Be a good chance to meet a fellow trapper.
