If you find an internet photo of one you like and print and change the size til you get your preferred nut width, you have a full sized rendering of what works. If you see one you like in a store or at a friend's house, take a picture and do the same thing - get a width measurement of the nut or the widest part of the head for future reference.
Here is one I am working on right now - had to print it 3 times til I got the 1-3/4" nut width I want, then just trace. On this one, I was able to tip everything a bit to the right and decided to mount the strings on the other side of each post to get the strings to be parallel with the neck
