Has anyone made a wooden W10 wing with fuel tank in it? Any thoughts on this?

I have. But it was not a "wet wing".
It is a Pitts with a center section fuel/smoke tank combination. Mine holds
about 5 or 6 gallons. I welded up an aluminum tank, shaped to fit in the
center section cavity. I just blocked it in good and solid before I put the
top 1/8" plywood on. No problems. It has been in there for about twenty six
years. Tested it good with soap and water for leaks and used an inflated
balloon to supply the air pressure for testing. The first one blew out like
a foot ball when I tested it with too much air. (just a couple of pounds
caused it to deform)

I'm trying to eliminate the inside cabin fuel tank. Could more than one tank be
placed in series inside the wing to carry 15-20 gal?

I bet they could but would not comment unless I could see and study the
drawings. Taylorcraft had some small light weight wing tanks that held about
6 gallons. It should not be hard to make some light weight tanks to hold 10
gallons per side and slip them into a section of the wings. You could even
build two of them per side if needed and pipe them together. I think it
would be a very positive design change though if you can do it. Very nice
airplane..

You could always make a metal winged Tailwind :) There are a couple of
us that are building wet wing Tailwinds and one that is already flying.
Earl Trimble has a website, earltrimble.com that has his story. Earl's
tanks came out to be 18 gal. per side.

Look through the archives in the tailwind forum, Jim Rust has done a
beautiful job of putting the carbon fiber tanks in his wings, Just
recently flew.
