rauliruegas...... Responding to your thickness inquiry.
Let me start from the beginning....
I saw a record mat made of wood for sale....don't remember where, somewhere on the forum. This gave me the idea ...I found a 11" round piece of wood , I drilled a center hole. Thickness is 1/2 " 
I am using it on my Technics sl 1600 ...sounds good.

There have been some negative opinions and some positive.


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.  
I find the idea of a wooden mat quite intriguing tbh.
The negative nellies be darned!

Time for some more investigation methinks.
Thx OP!
Seems like layered bamboo would be hard enough. Manufacturing it would be pretty difficult though...
