No nomex paper honeycomb, ceder with 2-3oz kevlar on the inside. I dropped a completed hull off a work bench onto concrete, it bounced, no damage other than some "road rash" on the surface.

The real issue with wood is labor. The conventional methods are labor intensive. To get around the labor you are going to have to develope and build some really expensive equipment.

We have carbon boats today because aerospace payed the capital expenses and some sailors used the equipment and knowledge. The only people developing wood construction that I know are the super high end furniture builders and none of them are cat sailors.
