Houndstooth Construction

1. The ABS 3D-printed mold is filled with three-part liquid foam.
Once the foam is cured it is released.
2. A simple spinning jig was made to hold the foam buck while the
CNC flame-maple houndsteeth are plugged into position.
3. An epoxy and ebonized wood dust mixture is frosted in between
the flame-maple houndsteeth.
4. The cured ebonized material is then shaped and faired to flow
with the maple teeth.
5. It worked! The foam is knocked out and the houndstooth rim
becomes freestanding.
6. Next the interior surface is faired to a perfect surface for the carbon
fiber laminations.
7. The carbon fiber is laid in, painstakingly faired, and
polished to perfection.
8. Voila! A one-of-a-kind, parabolic Dagmar body binding.
