OH! I forgot. I used masking tape, traced the outline on the tape,plunge cut. Then I used my thin kerf Japanese pull saw to do most of the straight cut. Finally connected all the straight cut with my coping saw. Coping saw gave me the most problem because the deck was not glassed hence, very bouncy.
