Yep you could make a wood plug and Vac form them with a home made plantum.
you can also make a plug, Wax it and make a fiber glass or carbon fiber back plate.

Just want to point out another option is to pick up one used. Given SS backplates can be had for something like 80-110 new I imagine you can probably find one used in the $60-70 range with some looking.
Not to discourage people from being creative (if you have the tools and means.. go ahead!) but a used one will probably be cheaper/better. SS basically lasts forever anyway.
