Are you sure the carbon fiber is going in the right direction for this task? Looks like you are creating the equivalent of a flitch beam with your present plan. This would resist a sideways bending of the leg. Don't you really want to resist a bending of the leg into or away from the angle?

If that's the case, shouldn't the carbon fiber be laminated like this? Just a thought.

The leg is bent back 10 degrees and out to one side 7 degrees.
What I'm worried about is the short grain.
That is sort of what the finished leg will look like.
It will be cut from a bent blank like this...
The bend back is 10 degrees, that is what I'm bending now, when done, I'll then cut the bend of 7 degrees to the side.
I hope this makes sense.
