Had a wood twin fin that I smashed on a reef, the wood was exposed and has some damage on the tail. The shaper actually cut off both fins, sanded them down and reglassed them and fixed the tail like new for $95.

The matterials for re-glassing are cheap, sounds like a 2 hour job tops for any good shaper, $100 tops
