Looks great. I wish I could do something like this for my SL600. But wood/leather presents a minor problem.

Well, since the entire top and bottom are wood, I can't imagine how that could be thickened, like the wheel pictured. Not to mention, the flat bottom. How could that be pulled off with wood?
