				Wood props have been used for years and years.  If you've ever been to 
 Alaska you probably have seen lots of airplanes, both metal and fabric with 
 wooden props sitting year round in the weather and under three foot of snow.
 
 Only thing I was ever told was to wax the props regularly, inspect them for 
 cracks and leave the props horizontal to make sure the internal moisture is 
 evenly balanced.

 PS  I've got a Stuba (Florida) wood prop on my Volks engine.  Has worked 
 find for the past ten years.
