The methods such as described by John Vivian normally produce a thick sheet
of foundation, thicker than the manufactured sheets. Full sheets require a
considerable amount of wax. Perhaps there is a preferred method.
Considering the work involved, though, it might be better to have the wax
traded for foundation or worked into foundation by a mill.
 
By the way, comb honey from a top-bar hive or other "natural" comb hive is
often of superior quality because the midrib in natural comb is very thin
and the cells fine compared to comb built on foundation.  The comb honey is
less "waxy" to the customer.  A possible drawback is that the surplus combs
are usually drone cells, and don't have quite the even surface patterns in
the cappings that worker-cell comb honey does.
