thinking that it might be difficult to make by hand and cnc is the way
to go to get a precise fit

wood selection would also be critical

anyone tried to make something by hand like this or at least without
a cnc

shrinkage might be bad for the laptop

introducing some strain relief into the design would be needed


like a flexure

the other aspect is the laptop material

aluminum might be easier to get a nice fit where as plastic might
be harder to get a good fit due to less stiffness

plastic might not hold up to the strains of the wood shrinking or
expanding due to moisture
