Looks great. I found some really interesting pictures of wooden bikes from the late 1800s in some books I was reading, will try to scan the pages in tomorrow at some point.
I presume you know about cold moulded boats and the like? I don't know if it is possible to scale that construction down, but it would be wonderful.
But fuck me, you would need the patience of several saints and a dead person to cold mould an entire frame with splinters of veneer. I suppose you could use the technique to reinforce areas subject to torsional load, like the bottom bracket/down tube junction.
