Wood is a joy to work. Metal is brutal and composites are toxic and require building molds. Plus wood rewards careful craftsmanship and a bright finish with unparalleled beauty. I don't think it's an affectation to choose wood for a hobbyist project: it's the best material for the job.
PS: Since this guy encapsulated his wood in fiberglass it technically is a composite.

Focus should therefore be on those who will actually have to live/work with the finished product. The desires of the craftsman are irrelevant. If they matter, then this is an article about a hobby more than product design.
