I can't answer your question directly but I believe this will be of great help: Wind Systems. To receive a complimentary copy is actually free with no strings attached.

They can be made of all most anything. The old ones where made from many types of wood.

Now they are mostly made of fiberglass or carbon fiber or a mixture of both. Some can be made of aluminum as will.

The surfaces are usually painted so what ever material was used underneath them really does not matter for the most part.

Google "Wind turbine blade construction"---Most wind turbine blades are now made from composites--Foam cored/ carbon fiber, or honey combed/ carbon fiber, and as the previous person mentioned, some are still being laminated in cold-moulded fashion with wood veneers laid at varying degrees, for stiffness, and skinned with a variety of materials--Good luck, and let us know what works for you-C-Mac
