Your laminated props are beautiful and certainly give the impression of a classic wooden prop. I think it is one of many deviations from strict reality (like the thickness of rigging wiring and other slight exaggerations of detail) for the purpose of achieving a realistic effect. Furthermore, your basic prop design is brilliant and of enduring value. You could perhaps provide a revised version with more subtle color gradations for the purist.
Slightly off topic, but still dealing with laminated props, I recall a lecture by an aviation historian at the podium of Tasker Bliss Hall here at the U.S. Army War College who noted that during the Pershing expedition into Mexico in 1916 the desert air caused the propellers of the accompanying aircraft to delaminate, so they kept them in sealed metal containers (prop humidors!) in between flights.
