I know Atari liked to use faux? wood-grain on its consoles back in the day. In fact, I remember one of my friends having a pair of huge surround-speakers that were encased largely in wooden housings from the 70s, and a cursory google search shows some people build their PCs that way for the aesthetic.
So long as everything is clean post-assembly so there isn't any lingering sawdust, I suppose it isn't any worse than housing your system in plastic.
