Dear easycomposites,
I intend to do this Project, i was planning to do it withlike the skateboard tutorial you have on YouTube… just with thinner wood.
Do you have any ideas on how much layers i would probably Need?I was wondering also how the Wood could bend in future?? It should stay in hisshape.
The Rhino object would be my mould. Thickness, i dont know, probably 5-7mm?Thanks alot! Franzis

Making the wooden core would be a case of using thin strips of wood bonded together - using the mould as a template. The strips would need to be thin enough to easily curve around. You would clamp it top and bottom and in various places then build up the strips of wood to get the shaped core in wood. Once youve done that, the infusion would be simple by comparison!
