I made this out of oak,years back in winter dad,my brother and i painted tractors.we made some up to fit various grill screens.
Put a smooth oak 2 x 12 on press bed set tool in groove,press some,best to work a little on each rib less chance of wrinkling

I just used a piece of 18 bar stock on mine, just kept turning it over and whanging away with a hammer 'til I decided it was good enough. Mine don't look quite that good, but they were worse beforehand too.

Sorry don't seem to have any before pics of those. But that ding on the starboard screen was about 2" deep when I started.
