hi anbody have a wood record mat ?

Wooden mat is a nonsense, this is the worst material for a mat and nobody use a wooden mat. The wood constantly change it’s properties depends on the temperature/season. If it’s one piece of wood (not a composit layers) this is the worst scenario ever!

It might be cool mat only under a teapod it in the kitchen

Instead of worrying so much about the mat in case of improvement, it’s better to buy a decent cartridge first and improvement will be huge even on felt or stock rubber mat.

I think at least 10 different mats have been offered to the OP in another thread, but as usual he started with something else.

Reed wooden tonearm tube is not just piece of hardwood, it is special treated wood to avoid cracks and deformation in time and at different temperature. Same about Schroeder's arm tube.  

it is special treated wood to avoid cracks

@totem395

As could be a wood mat.

It could be, but can you imagine diameter of the armtube in comparison to the diameter of the platter mat ?

Also did you made all the treatment with a piece of wood yourself?

It’s not impossible to make a wood mat, but i’ve seen many products made out of wood glued together in pieces and all of them degrade in time, depends on the temperature (cold in the winter, hot in the summer) depends where do you live.

A decent mats made of aluminum from SAEC and gunmetal from MICRO SEIKI, they last forever, mine are 40 years old.

The last mat i bought was $250 THE MAT from Sakura Systems, i finally decided to try it on Denon DP-80 (heavy mat is not good for this table, so i just bought this new Graphite mat). This is the last incarnation of the highly regarded Boston Audio Mat.

I think there are just so many better alternatives to the wood. And those mats can’t cause any problem. So why wood? You tell me.
