DC:
That is clever, good one!

zoomer:
I had trouble outlining (width) on a gnarly, crowned staves. Here's what I discovered today:
1) draw a straight line by joining many short lines one-by-one, aligning the ruler with already drawn lines. The line will follow the grain this way;
2) from drawn line, measure desired width and mark it with a dot. Do this every half an inch or so;
3) connect the dots.
Now you have an outlined width that follows the grain precisely and is constant along its length. Perhaps everyone already know this.
