Besides beauty there is another benefit to a wood propellor.
No sudden stoppages. The prop just turns into splinters.
Don't ask

From a non-owner's viewpoint, I think wooden props are a thing of
aeronautical beauty and are sadly missed. A laminated, fixed pitch
prop is almost an object of sculpture.


Not meaning to wax lyrical, but a nicely crafted wooden prop is
infinitely more interesting to look at than an alloy job or a compressor
stage.


I used to own a Piper Vagabond with a wooden prop. It sat outside, so I
had to revarnish the prop often. I recall very vividly admiring the
beauty of the wood when I did this job.
