If it's metal, I don't think they'd even let you have it at the con, peace bonded or not, due to it being "live-steel".  If it's a PVC/Foam, it should be fine.

I saw nothing on the rules stating anything about wood.  I have a shield made out of plywood, so if I wasn't allowed to have that, that'd suck, a lot...

I checked before making it, and wood props aren't mentioned, only metal is banned afaik.
