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

That could create a potential for rot inside the carbon fiber
laminate.
I am just having all the fiberglass patches removed from a boom and
wood scarfs put in because it worried me.

Why do you want to change it?

Well I am not sure as to the condition of the entire mast; that is inside
out top to bottom and wanted to add some certainty. It looks and pokes
good, but it is on a 36+ year old Finnsailer.

Thanks for the input, I'll look at other options!
