I'm in a similar spot and am drifting away from wooden ones. I don't see
those made of little blocks glued together as very impressive so if I
went wood I'd probably want ones made of serious planks (100mm wide,
40mm deep and full length) with a complimentary machined edges to hold
everything together in the long term. Those specs make wood a very
expensive option and I just don't like it enough spend a lot of money on
them.

Those specs make it a very DIYable options though... especially if you
have or know someone with a planer/thicknesser.

It's very kind of you to offer John :-)

Bottom line is that I don't think I'd like the end result better than I
would a good quality laminate one so for simplicity I think I will stick
with that.
