Most people seem to recommend tracing from a plan and the various methods of transferring it to the wood. I have just come across this little gizmo that my wife uses for sewing (or will do if she can get it back!!). It works beautifully by making a lot of small holes in the wood when run along the plan. Don't know what it's called though.

I believe when used for dressmaking it's called a pounce wheel. I've made several from assorted clock gears to produce rivets in various scales.

Before the era of computer generated graphics, they used pounce wheels on letter patterns and then tape it on a vehicle and rub powder in the holes which left the outline on the vehicle and a painter would hand paint the lettering.
