Any drafting supplies would have them. Or you could ring up Office Works.

What Dod said, but you could also try your local stationary specialist. Amazing how helpful they can be in woodworking! The curves that is, not stationary supply shops http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/confused.gif. I have one of them flexible ones, but I am not sure it is called a french curve....... Had to get it for highschool drafting classes.
Cheers!

The flexible one is callled a flexible curve (logical) or a drafting spline. Available from the same places as french curves - drafting shops, stationers, maybe even a good newsagent.
