Subject: [CR]laminated rims

I've largely ignored the recent subject string on wooden rims because I'd never even heard of such a thing .............. but Thurs. I saw a lovely Bruce Gordon track bike with wood (tubular) rims and realized how cool a concept it is. With modern epoxy and proper laminates, rims like this could be a viable (and elegant) option. I'm calling the local bowyer (archers have access to an amazing selection of rare woods) to see how feasible it would be to have a set fabricated.
