[Jewelry making - Article 01776] - [Orchid] Wide Bands and comfort

Hi

    A while ago, I made a wide silver band (about 5/8" wide). It's
    pictured here kimstarbarddesigns.com 

    I think the ring came out nice, but it could definitely be made to
    be more comfortable. I have thought a lot about the proper way to
    draw a template to make the ring taper in where it would lie on the
    underside of the finger. Would there be any way to draw this design
    and then saw it out...or is it easier to just make the ring and then
    trim away the excess after soldering the band together? 

    Thanks for any input

Kim
