[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 471582, member: 21536"] Used to be able to find luan door skins at the big box stores for a few bucks. Now days I guess it would be 1/8 hardboard. A ticking stick is used to duplicate a irregular shape with quite a bit of precision and it is pretty easy. You basically use a pointed stick to register points along a curve then transfer those to the piece you want to fit. Or, if you are like me and want an abundance of caution, you transfer the points to a template to double check the fit. It is pretty straight forward but difficult to explain. So, as much as I hate to I'm going to suggest you google tick stick or ticking stick. That will give you a much better explanation (and photos) than I ever could. The photo below shows a ticking stick being used to plot points along a curve for a boat bulkhead. It is from Sawmill Creek woodworking forum (a great forum for woodworkers by the way).
