Aircraft landing gears are designed for a specific application. I have built solid steel tubing, solid wood, laminated wood and fiber glass gears, All depends what it has to do, some gears are part of the suspension and must flex. The solid wood gears were made to replace the steel tubing gears, actually wood is a lot more forgiving than steel in a lot of ways.

How about a beautiful laminated wood roll cage??
