Default Propellers

I want to run my engine (ford v-6) this summer for various tests and I
want some sort of prop. What do most people use for props when testing
at this stage? I was thinking of glueing together 2 or 3 fir 2x6's or
using a laminate beam (leftovers from a remodeling project) and carving
some airfoil shape. Seems like it should work if it is balanced. Of
course I don't want to sling a blade down the taxiway or through my
neighbors hangar door. Anybody offer some suggestions? Thanks.
