hmm, makes sense. I guess wood is just naturally occurring composite when you think about it.
I've got a big sheet of ally that I was planning to use with a fibreglass bar I bought (cheap) to more or less replicate your setup.
After what you've said, I'm kind of having second thoughts. That said, since I already have the ally, bar, rivets and thicker ally for reinforcing I'll probably just go ahead with my plan and see how I works out. Hopefully the fibreglass bar will provide enough rigidity to allow for only a small amount or reinforcing.
