Nice. Let us know how they build up. I've yet to build with a set of wooden rims but they intrigue me a lot.
When first reading about Ghisallo wooden rims as (then) used by Wheel Fanatyk, Eric Hjertberg gave the following somewhat cryptic reply when responding to questions as to whether wooden rims ever stayed true when built.
He said something like; "Consider the rims like a favourite pet dog, they will stray and wander a little bit, but never too far from home."

Got my first set of wooden rims CB Italia to build up for my 1948 RRA. 32F/40R not sure what to expect but I think I will peg the tensions at around 950N to 1000N. Not sure how much the rims can handle. gone for tubular rims and they look lovely.
