Templates

How do you guys make templates for your duplicator?

I know some people make plexiglas templates.

I spin a plug out of mahogany and then I use the mahogany plug as my template (I measure and use calipers to ensure the same dimensions). I find it easier and more accurate then cutting plexiglas templates. I found cutting plexiglas more difficult to get exact dimensions, and plus I got practice on the lathe. Here are some examples of my templates.
