Looks great. What are it's selling points? Where would you use it and why? How does it compare to other material in weight and strength? Lite ply, aircraft ply, carbon fibre? Have you ever worked with the carbon fibre/endgrain balsa composite sandwich?

Is it solid 1/4" thick, or is it a sandwich structure with a core?

Difficult to see from the picture.

Former is cut in two pieces.
Kevlar is epoxy laminated to a single sheet of wood, cut, then the two former pieces are laminated together.
