Say you need a curved piece of wood 6" wide with an outside radius of
23 feet and it needs to include a cord length of 13 feet. How would
you do it? (No CNC allowed.)


I've got a few ideas, but I'd like to hear what folks have to say.

Just go pick one up from the Borg?


Heh. They've probably got a few!

I need to revisit this topic now that the job is done. Let's just say
some MDF, metal strapping, a custom router base and a helical head on
the shaper produced excellent results. Plus a couple of holes in the
floor. Details to follow.
