Someone handcrafted it, it apparently plays.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

On the scale of a record needle, wood is quite soft. Woods strength comes from its structure working together to resist stressors. So a beam of wood would be stronger than a beam of vinyl, but when being scraped along a grooved surface that strength doesn't help.
I wonder if densified wood would be better.
