I could live without a wood fork - at least one with a wood steerer
tube. I think to get similar strength to steel/Al/CFRP, the steerer and
consequently the headset would need to be oversize and non-standard.
You wouldn't be able to fit your beloved Cane Creek HS, me thinks, or a
regular head stem either.

That aside, I was in the same boat. Considering buying one, but not
quite able to go through with it for a few reasons. One being I'd like
to ride one first, and feel how it works. Not easy from this distance.
