It depends on what sort of tools you have. I glue scrap wood together and cut it down to size, and do a lot of sanding. I do this because my dad has a woodshop. But, you could also use clay to get your shape, if you know how to work it.

i make a clay mold first then make a cast out of plaster then i fill the cast with more plaster and i have a nice mold for forming. i am looking into doing my molds like marshall though because it looks like its better for making two sides of a portable ( which i'd also like to try soon)
