I think it's more normal to use a balsa stripper to slice off the ribs but you're on the right track.

  Let me see if I understand. You are laminating 1/32 wood and forming
  it over a form and letting it dry to shape (airfoil shaped). You then
  go back and slice off thin sections of this pre-curved laminate blank
  from what would be the top. Is that correct? In other words, you use
  a flexible straight edge and slice the ribs while the pre-curved wood
  is still on the form?
  Sounds interesting.
  Thanks,
