I do like your idea!!Well, here's my way of thinking. Steel and more critically wood, have different expansion factors..Both are affected by temperature, but wood is affected by humidity too. What you need is a glue which will allow for some amount of "float" between the two different materials, wood and steel..I would blow on a double coat of spray contact on each surface and stick em together, rolling out as necessary...Give it a shot..I think it will work..Seal/finish the wood on a dry day..Wood tends to expand with humidity at right angles to the grain...Just my thoughts...
