A wooden record that actually plays.
(lemmy.world)
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?

How are the grooves made? 🤔 Like, is the wood a solid piece or does it start out as a sort of pulpy slurry?
Burned like a CD-RW
I want to say if it was cast into a slurry entirely it wouldn't have the dark spots in the grooves. I think it's more likely it was cast as a blank record shape first, and then used a laser based on a 3d model of the record. Just a guess though.
To me it looks like standard plywood
