I doubt they would be brittle, what with all that resin in them....
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.
Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure that the epoxy resin would penetrate all that deeply into the wood. Would maybe just saturate it a few mm or so. And then you would have the brittle wood inside that resin casing. What strange guitars they are.

None of it really matters, once you plug it in and play the first chord, the extreme brightness of the guitar/pickups will stab your eyes out with it's sharpness. Then at least you don't have to look at that headstock anymore.
Swamp kauri being brittle is quite apt, brittle is how I'd describe the Langcaster tone.
