Re: Wooden gears.

Not gears, but last year our team used laser cut wooden sprockets in our belt drive. They were made up of 4 5mm sheets of plywood cut to the shape and bolted and glued together. The durability of wood wasn't an issue, it was the acrylic we used on the sides to keep the belt from sliding off that kept on breaking.
