No. Not wood. That could be cloned.
But other than wood - what other stuff would mega rich individuals want to have, to show off their wealth?
Preferably something that isn't in a museum (like original art or historic pieces).
Ah snap people already dropped the marble truthpill.
Anyways. I'd say a cow or bison herd. There's already a market for bespoke cow genetics (albino, long haired, certain horn shapes, etc) so being able to maintain that sort of resource hog (on that note space pigs might become decently common) is a way to show off that you're L O A D E D.
Sound (ultrasound, tapping) and radiation.
Precisely. And beef is on lower end of conversion efficiency in that regard. Though I guess... actually, yeah. Wait a second. Gators. The edible part of a gator weighs in at about the same as the average human male's leg or so, and being obligate carnivores means you'd have to build/ship in stuff from somewhere else. Plus they're mean-spirited which adds to the allure.

It's like fake money. You can, in theory, make a 100% perfect copy but in practice there's invariably going to be shortcuts. In this case you're effectively looking for restricted randomness, i.e uneven but logical imperfections in the material's striations that an atomic printer would need to either simulate the formation of (that's spicy) or copy from somewhere else (that's gonna leave a digital footprint somewhere).
