Well the first day was overwhelming. We spent all day tapping and feeling

I have seen tops WAY thinner that I would even consider. Time to crash

Yes, that's very interesting.

You know, I get the distinct impression that we could build these 'monocoques' a LOT thinner and still maintain structural integrity...

Keep us posted!

... and you thought you were going to get time to have a side trip to see the wood vendors.   

Have fun. It really is a great experience.
