This is a +4.8G/-2.4G load factor Asso X wooden spar

and I was just wondering about the best idea of reinforcing this wooden spar with composites to make it lighter yet stronger and stiffer? If the top spruce were made of uni carbon, the bottom one of uni kevlar, and then the whole spar wrapped in one layer of +-45 degrees kevlar, that would most probably become ideally twice as tough and stiff (+10G/-5G). What would be the most rational solutions besides making a completely composite spar? This is just theoretical, all ideas are welcome...
