May help.

There is a remarkable wooden flying boat hull in the RAF Museum
at Hendon that was built in the early 1920s. It has a 'moulded'
hull which appears to have been constructed using boatbuilding
techniques of the time.

With its varnished finish it is simply stunning to
look at.

Is everyone forgetting the deHavilland Mosquito? Constructed almost
entirely of cold-moulded plywood.
