Hi George,

It all depends on the level of accuracy you want. If you can accept that amount of flex (and believe me, in some applications that would be A LOT of flex) then you should consider wood as a material. It's cheap, plentiful and as already mentioned, has good damping qualities. I've built a few things from perspex and it's not a great material either to work with or structurally.
