Jerry, That is exactly what I have been doing for my Mullerd borders. I use a bembart 26lpi double spacer and run it lightly around the pattern two times. This gives me a outside border line with a center line. Then I run the Gunline concave border cutter down the center line and then deepen the outside and inside line to clean it up.
The border can be made thicker or thinner by using a different line spacer to start with. But 26 seems to work well. 32 or 28 might be better for a higher grade gun.

I agree it is a bit cumbersome, but it gets the job done. But it sure seems easier than making a tool for it. If you look at the checkering pattern on my restocked Trojan. My method was used for those borders.
