l want to build a solid wood turntable

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. 

  

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