That was my own thought. I was just having a bit of fun. One of the
best and most practical approaches is to look at where you "think"
you'd like the curve to go, and make a few marks. Then join the dots
with the French Curve. If anyone does get carried away with the
esoteric, and I've seen some fine woodworking that really was a work
of art, they might look here for further inspirationin their "famous
curves index":

Copy/paste works just fine.
