Thanks Ken! I used black starboard. 1" thick. 12"x12" pieces are
available from McMaster-Carr for about $35. Knowing that ultimately my
starting size would need to be roughly 5"x5"x2", I decided that a
12"x12"x1" piece was going to be the smallest usable and available size.

What was the material you made it out of in the end? Is it black
Starboard? I missed that detail somehow.
The finished product looks great!

Thought y'all might want an update on my whisker pole mast chock mount.
I initially was trying to find a carpenter or wood worker with bandsaw or
scroll saw and a spindle sander that might have been able to make this
piece quickly and easily. I was having a hard time articulating to people

Ok Guys,
I've been test fitting the whisker pole and track extensions to the mast while
it is pulled. I need an extra section of track to get the inboard end of the
pole high enough so that I can stow the pole on the mast. I
If you don't have a fancy contour guage or tool, use a length of solder.

Neat trick!
In my case I actually have access to the bottom of the mast to get the
contour.

A carpenters trick is to;
- place the teak against the mast
- gauge the widest gap between the teak and the mast (outer edge)
- wrap tape around a pencil same amount as gap (This will give you the widest
point)
- hold teak against mast, and trace the pencil (with tape) along the mast

I'm on board with your thoughts Dennis and Joel. Some complications are
that the depth of the concave curvature to accommodate the mast is 1-5/8ths
which is a lot of sanding. Furthermore the maximum available thickness for
starboard is 1" so some sort of stacking will be needed.
Thanks for the i

Tape a piece of 60 grit sandpaper to the mast. Rub a piece of teak,
Starboard, UHMW or whatever up and down until it conforms to the mast. 2-3
beer job. Builds biceps. Better to hoist more beers.

Ok Guys,
I've been test fitting the whisker pole and track extensions to the mast
while it is pulled. I need an extra section of track to get the inboard
end of the pole high enough so that I can stow the pole on the mast. I'm
pretty much all set but I'm down to the chock which will hold the out
