Floor pattern

A while ago I read in the forums how to make a pattern for the floor with a "talking stick". Perhaps I have the name of it wrong as I cant seem to find the thread.
It was to mainly make a pattern for the large radii in the corners when the floor is so rotted you cant copy the old floor board.
Does any one remember this??
Thank you.

DG,

This might work...don't know if the radii is right though.

This episode of Classic Rides DIY specials is about replacing the flooring in a '70s Overlander.

About two-thirds of the way through, they show a very simple process called "scribing". You can jump ahead, but the whole (short) episode is interesting

It involves a paint paddle, and a marker. Have a look, see how you like it.

Robert Cross,
You are very funny. That appears to be a "double radii".

That's a lot more than double radii. And I'm pretty sure it would be more of a distraction than a tool to get the job done. But who knows?
