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