I have found modelling plywood is quite good for this job. It comes in various thicknesses and in small sizes - modelling shops usually have stock.

It cuts easily with a craft knife and just needs finishing off with a very fine sandpaper. I usually finish mine off with a few coats of matt black paint.

The last one I made was a 6x9 neg set for my De Vere 504.
