Long ago I made a tripod for my 8" f/7 newtonian (big heavy thing) using old western Australian jarrah floorboards about 100 x 25mm. Best tripod I've ever used, solid as a tree stump, but it was non-folding - fully glued and screwed joints and braced in every direction so no torsion (twisting) either.
I have a photo somewhere.
