As for the wood, well as you pointed it out its not exactly the best material, however this is a work in progress. I am planing on a upgrade to steel or aluminum ends for the printer at some point. However at this point the wood only has to live for a few prints. The wood deceives you however, it is not cracked aywhere, I splintered some of the edges when machining it with my limited hand tools. If it does crack then as mentioned I will be ordering some precision parts to replace it.
The bearings, its funny my parts were delivered with nylon bearings which I did not use, I would rather use the metal bearings right now. At some point if wear becomes an issue, I will upgrade the system.
As for the heated bed, it is a good point on borosilicate glass. I may eventually go that route, or may use stainless steel. For now this was a decent solution that did not involve me waiting 3 or 4 weeks to get.
