Think of wood similarly to Crabon fiberz but without all the fancy need for high tech. You can just grab a log and attach to your stem and boom you are all set. Though don't actually do that, properly mill it down to the right thickness use a good wood that would handle being a handle and treat it for the elements. It is not a bad idea at all and certainly could look quite nice. Now at that price I wouldn't pay for it but for $50 or under I could see it being quite viable.
