There's at least one instance of a guy who machined his lower from a polymer cutting board. A wooden lower is certainly within the realm of possibility, although I can't find a video of this one being fired: http://www.weaponeer.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8035&....

No video but he did fire it, see page 2. It cracked on the 2nd round. Interesting enough, this was made of pine, which is just about the worst possible choice short of balsa.

Obviously pine's a bad choice. I'd be surprised if some nice walnut didn't hold up longer; with laminate, you could probably see durability on par with steel.
