The biggest concern I would have with using wood would be the joints. Remember, the stands should be as rigid as possible. My choice of wood for such a project would be maple because it is quite rigid. A well thought out design is the key to a successful project. My choice would be chrome moly tubing and tig welding.
If you need some help in the design you may email me directly.
Good luck,
Patrick
