And really, if you are concerned about grip. Put small studs through the wood in key spots for a little extra grip.
Heck if you could build one burly enough you might be able to actually use it as a flat pedal...hmmmmm....hmmmmm...

I don't understand why people are always complaining about wanting a platform with clipless. It adds weight and clipless were meant to be clipless, not platform. It takes me all of a minute to get a hex wrench out and change the pedals on my bike.
