I've no doubt that wood can equal steel in a mount.
For a swivel-head lathe stressed by the av. unbalanced bowl lump that a hobby turner is likely to find, that would in my view require half-lap or M&T joints in hardwood given the forces involved, and close attention to design of the mount.
If the OPer is has a background in carpentry or cabinetry that won't be any trouble. It will involve time and material cost those need to be factored in.
...
My VL175 factory mount does generate vibes with some bowl blanks. No drama. Ramp up and they go, ramp down ditto.Cheers, Ern
