From a non-owner's viewpoint, I think wooden props are a thing of
aeronautical beauty and are sadly missed. A laminated, fixed pitch
prop is almost an object of sculpture.
Not meaning to wax lyrical, but a nicely crafted wooden prop is infinitely
more interesting to look at than an alloy job or a compressor stage.
I used to own a Piper Vagabond with a wooden prop. It sat outside, so I had
to revarnish the prop often. I recall very vividly admiring the beauty of
the wood when I did this job.
