It seems to me that one would want the stiffness in the fore and aft direction, but not in the side to side direction. So would it be possible to lay some carbon fiber in the seam of the wood stiffeners? This would produce a thin web side to side, but a thick web fore and aft, selectively stiffening the fore aft movement of the gear leg.
It would be interesting to get a slow-mo camera view. I've always thought the shimmy was more of a rotational thing around the axis of the gear leg.
