Aren't the syntheticshollow???
yes, they are but there is nothing that says you can not fill the stock with resin then start your shaping.
Can you add wood to a laminate?
Certainly - the asiest thing in the world is to do is add wood to wood...
Much of the wood could be taken out with my router. It would be the fine inletting where the problems would arise I think.
Hole saw - then router then - rasp/chisel- then sand paper - then sanding blocks - then fine sand paper.
If you could get a right right hand thumbhole for a pattern you would be off to the raceses....
