l want to build a solid wood turntable

Sam here and I haven't owned a turntable in 25 years, however if I build a turntable out of solid aged wood like a nice musical instrument with the tone arm connected to the center spool made of solid wood to get the vibrations and the stylus made from shungite would I get super vinyl sound more analog like? This will be my new project.

Here is a Link to a Website I have spent many hours on, there are inspiring projects to be seen.
The Ikea Build will be the one I was referring as a Bamboo Build.

There are also a selection of DIY Built Tonearms where wood is inclusive of used materials.

If you look on Google you can find a Plinth, Platter and Tonearm produced from Manufactured Bamboo Board.

I have recently seen reports on a Type of Manufactured Bamboo Board where the early Materials Properties Measurements are showing it to have attractive properties like Panzerholz, but not a like for like match.
If I recall the term used as part of the Manufacture that refers to
Side Pressing relates to the product.

The Bamboo Board seems to be a much more widespread product and is more affordable than Panzerholz if bought from a retailer.

There is a Cartridge using a very hard part of a Madake Bamboo Plant for the Cantilever.
I do not know if it is solely Madake or a Composite with a Metal Connected at the Bobbin End.
