I made some hound collars (2.1/8" at widest and tapering to 5/8" at the chape and billet. I just made up a pattern (fold card in four so that you cut the pattern on a quarter so it's symmetrical vertically and horizontally when it's opened up. To get the shape right I used a 'French curve' as a guide. Gary (Reason for edit: Bad spelling) Edited March 23, 2009 by gary Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
