l want to build a solid wood turntable

Sam here and i had the idea to possible use quartz crystal for the tone arm because it's the most powerful earth crystal and maybe make the stylus cartridge in the shape of a pyramid the goal being to get the most resonant tone

Why are any of you responding as if he's serious? This is like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
And Sam, you don't always have to say "Sam here"...we can see your screen name on your post.

Sam here again and roxy 54 just can't except my forward ideas.the audio industry: lf it ain't broke guitar sam: i want tone i gotta step outside the box.

If you ever took wilderness survival training you'll know why not to use wood for the spindle and bearing.

Once fully soaked/saturated the wood would require a minimum of 2 years (per 1" thickness) to air dry and become stable.

Perhaps less time if the larger surface area of the wood (cut considerably oversized to be cut/milled later on) is end grain, I would guess.

Faster/higher temperature curing can be/generally is problematic unless precisely/knowledgeably controlled.

If you are considering soaking/deeply saturating a "log" then plan on a decade, or more, of proper drying/curing.

Just something to think about.

How about something faster/easier to work with (like depleted uranium waste solids and/or plastic masses retrieved/cleaned from our oceans)?
