My advice is to not spend a whole lot of time on the material of the board, a simple wood job will do just fine. Spend you're time seriously planning out were the stick(s) will go, where the button boxes will go, and possibly most important, the button/switch layout on each box. Get your drivers, programers, and veteran drivers together to think this all out on paper before you acutally make anything. It should feel perfecly natural to the drivers.

Then, when you do make anything, make it robust! The board will get dropped!
