From experience, the leading edge of wooden props can be repaired quite easily with epoxy resin. The process would be similar to filling a dink on a metal blade. It will still need to be rebalanced as soon as poss in both cases. I don't know what prop repairs, if any, are allowed on CoA machines.
As for inertia, I doubt it would keep rotating for more than a few seconds if it was made from depleted uranium.
A wooden prop is a thing of beauty in my book. Until its covered in epoxy resin repairs, that is. Then its time for a new one and the old one becomes dining room wall art.
