Thanks for the suggestion.

I refer you to Fred Bingham's book, "Practical Yacht Joinery" for a

solution to layout the profile.

When you get book, find Fig: 5-42, "Geometric layout for any camber".

Provides a good gamber for your top.

This will show commercial long boards available from Jamestown
Distributors.

I made mine using plywood and rubber cement to hold sandpaper strips.

A 4' x 36" rigid board should do a good job (1/2" plywood) of cleaning
up surface.

Have fun.
