Looks great. The design of the U-bolts surrounding the skewer is brilliant and reinforces the wood. The only thing I might add is a simple piece of webbing looped through the triangle for the frame and leading to the bars in case of failure. If the fork vibrated off the skewer (and the strap failed), the piece of webbing would prevent catastrophic highway accidents. As is it though, your system seems very unlikely to fail.
