Default How do you transfer a pattern to your wood

I am building a cabinet and the top has a scalloped look to it. I drew it

on
my computer to actual size. Now I need to transfer it to my wood.

How do you guys do that? Do you print on thick stock, cut out the pattern
and then use it as a stencil? Do you tape the pattern to the wood and cut
the pattern? Do you free hand off of what you did on the computer?

I will be using my Bosch jig saw to make the cut.


If you can't find carbon paper in this day and age, simply rub a soft pencil
over the *back* of the paper where the lines are, tape the pattern in place
and trace over the lines with a ballpoint pen.
