Is there a place where I can buy an arching guide for my duplicator to follow that would produce an F5 mandolin top and back?

TIA
John

Hi John,
Would buying a top and back from Roger Siminof or Stew-Mac do the trick? They are both slightly different in profile. Roger has them in cheaper wood and a range of jigs and templates to suit.
Cheers Chopper

Thanks John
I do have Roger's construction book. I was hopping to avoid the expense of plates made of decent wood. I will try Roger.
