hi anbody have a wood record mat ?

The Teres wood platter is an exceptional idea and a real world product, but it is several inches thick and very heavily finished to negate any possible problem with warpage. Probably that has a better chance of success than would a much thinner wooden mat, but it's certainly not crazy to try it.  The temptation would be to use a hardwood to avoid warpage, but that might result in a "hard" sound.  Like I said, the choice of wood species will make a great difference in the outcome, in my opinion.  The thing is, if you make the mat yourself with your own hands, you're gonna love it.  Be careful of expectation bias.  I had a machinist make me a pure copper mat for my Kenwood L07D, to replace the OEM stainless steel "platter sheet" (a mat by another name), and of course, I love it.

Dear @rocky1313 : Thank's for your answer.

@uberwaltz I think @lewm has good points about different woods causing different sounds. Music instrument makers are aware of this. Maple seems to be a favorite. You need to clamp it down somehow. A record clamp would probably do it. I wouldn’t worry about speed fluctuations since the wood is laying on the platter which is turning at the right speed

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. 

"""  I actually found a 12" round wood disk that I experimented with and drilled a hole to make it usable as a mat.
The highs are better and clearer. The base is tight. ""
