I have lots of original 36’ pieces , none of them are laminated. I have some NOS 35-36 wood, they are not laminated. I have original 35-36 top bows, they are not laminated.
I know there are some exceptions, like 28-29 truck pieces that have minimal lamination (2 pieces), Ford wasn’t a fan of lamination.
Given modern wood tooling capabilities, I’d do all I could to minimize lamination. Glue eventually gives up.
