I think it would be do-able, aircraft props have been made from laminating wood for over 100 years. IIRC they were all pretty much parallel.
This isn't your grand daddy's airplane prop...dagger board foil sections and loads are all completely different.
If the boards were short enough then for sure you can do it in wood, but with the aspect ratio and foil section shape of current F18 foils..... no way is it possible to do in wood.
Most builders are struggling to build unbreakable foils even in carbon.. If you want them to be perfect then you need to spend big bucks to build them right.
I reckon 1600 USD is pretty ok for a pair of wildcat boards, they will be really good in an F16
What about carbon over a cnc milled wooden core? This to me is actually very tempting. Does anyone have a rough idea on the laminate schedule for a board?? Foil section is the other big question, I doubt they are running NACA0012's? Last time I dug and dug for this data it was unubtanium and NACA sections came out ahead in my 2D analysis.
