I've oftened wondered what combinations with wood could bring. Composite technology is very cool.
One of my other hobbies is sailing. The boats in this picture

Very much look like wood but are actually built with a red cedar core that is laminated between s glass carbon and kevlar all laid up with epoxy.
The builder chose the cedar core due to its properties vs foam and nomex or similar traditional composite boat building materials.
It would be interesting to see how a similar structure would do as a soundboard
