I'd like to build a wooden range hood. Does anybody know where I can get

I'd appreciate any help.


I assume you are talking about some type of cover with the fan and
motor parts hidden.
One thing to check is the specs on the range or cook-top. Those
specs will give you the dimension, from the top of the cooking
surface, for any combustible material. This can make a very big
difference in how tall your wooden hood cover will be or whether you
have room for another cabinet above it.
We just installed a wooden hood cover in a kitchen with a built in
cook-top. The cook-top required 30" between the cook-top surface and
any combustible. The specs would allow 24" if all of the exposed
combustible edges were covered with a specific type of sheet steel.
