Oak and birch sound good to me.

Do you think it would be best to make a board (curved or flat) of an equal thickness all over and then plane it to make it thinner towards the edges or would it be better to use strips that are already shaped.

The latter method sounds very difficult to me. Also I do not know if the oak core has to be the same thickness all over or if it has to be thinner towards the edges too...

Thanks for the input until now.
