: Hello all,

: I just happened across this site. This guy builds a geodesic frame
: of cardboard and then 'glasses over it to make a
: cardboard-framed surfboard. The result is a cool translucent
: board. He apparently stretches pre-soaked fiberglass over the
: frame, which sounds to me very messy and difficult, but it seems
: to work.

: Perhaps it would be difficult to design a kayak this way, but it
: just shows what one can do when they throw away traditional
: thought and get creative. Actually now that I think about it, I
: guess this is technically a skin-on-frame surfboard!

: Check it out. http://www.sheldrake.net/cardboards/

Actually it's like home made honeycomb, very interesting idea.

Btw, honeycomb is much like using a foam or for that matter wood core with glass skins on each side. The process tends to be very light as most of the core is composed of air.
