Wooden mudguards

Sorry to bring this up from the dead but I've got a plan brewing and I'd like a bit of forum feedback.

Do people want full mudguards for maximum dryness or small easily removable ones?
Would a compound curve ( add significant value to the product over a flat blade | ?

I am in the market for some nice mudguards. Only ones which I really like at the honjo hammered ones. However wood ones do seem appealing.

For wooden mudguards, I'd be interested in small and easily removable. A compound curve would be great, but I feel it would add a lot to the manufacturing process and hence the price.
