Hello fellow pilot.
Composite Airplane propellors are usually made in a closed mold and a pressure bladder inside is inflated to a high pressure that compresses the carbon to the mold surface. When completed they are balance and tested. I wouldn't dare try making a propellor. Unless you can test to destruction. I would never have a minutes piece flying with a propeller I have made. If a blade fails often the whole engine rips off and the CG change makes the plane unflyable. Your then dead shortly after. My advice is don't do it!
