45 degree glassing under wood skin?

General Discussion

Hi swaylocks,
my next project is to build a board like quanta described here: http://www.swaylocks.com/comment/463814#comment-463814
EPS Core, Glass, wooden Skin, no glass on the outer side of the wood.

Now my idea is to use the glass under the skin in ± 45 degrees. Hope that this way the glass reinforces the wood quite well but doesn’t influence the flex of wood like a 0/90 degree glassing.

What do you think? Is that just theoretical approach?

Cheers,
Andi

Full disclosure: I haven’t made a compsand.
However, I’ve always thought going on a 45-degree bias under the wood makes the most sense from an engineering point of view. The wood is essentially a layer of unidirectional cellulose fiber.
