Would you like a 40" arc in a 48" piece - or the arc across the entire
48"? I'd be happy to take you up on that if you'll accept 1/4"
tempered hardboard or spring for the BB.

The 1/4" material is less expensive to buy and ship; and can be used
to produce additional templates out of whatever you'd /really/ like.
[ B'sides, I already have the hardboard in the shop :-) ]
