Wooden Mast Question

Anyone have any thoughts on shaving say 10-12 mm of material off a wooden
mast and laminating it with carbon fiber and epoxy. ??

It's a bad idea. Carbon fiber is sooo much stiffer than wood that it
will only work if there is enough CF to take the entire load.
Otherwise the carbon fails first, then the weaker wood mast fails.
