I'm going to backup a bit and post some that I skipped over the first time.

The Ron Kirn templates are 1/4" Masonite (or Trabant Wood for some of you.) The first thing that needs to be done is to make a set of 3/4" MDF (did I get it right that time?) working templates.

Once the working templates were made I used an original to trace the pattern on the blank - simply because it was close.

then we can go to the band saw and get rid of some surplus wood

and we wind up with something like this. Notice that the knot by the horn that some of you were probably worried about has proven to be a knon-factor
