Ed_McCarron:
Size? If its under 8.5x11 (or bigger, if you have the corresponding printer) print/plot it 1:1 and attach that paper to your wood. Cut thru the whole thing.
I do it with autocad all the time. With the D-Size plotter I have, it'll do 44x30 or something silly like that.
mahuti:
you could use a program like Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, CorelDraw or Inkscape (freeware) and print like he said, or use your favorite cad software.
PetitMorte:
In order to draw an oval with string, you need to use TWO nails, on the centerline. Also, tie the string into a circle, and put ot over the two nails. adjust the space between the nails, and the length of the string to get the curve that you want.
The closer together the nails, the taller the oval will be. The farther apart, the more flattened the oval.
It takes practice.
