Best wood for an isolation platform

If I want to build my own integrated amp platform and a CD player platform, what is the best wood to use? What about the spike/cones? Where is a good place to get them? Has anyone used the inverted pucks and steel ball from FIM? It seems like a great way to eliminate any vibration.

Hey, Yes you did updaye me...I just stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd pipe in! I just sold a whack of large platforms to someone building a clone of the Mapleshade rack...should be nice when its finished.

Is that tung oil from Lee Valley?

Tung oil from Lee Valley, yes indeed. The high-lustre finish is IMHO very gorgeous.

I was in Ottawa on the weekend (visiting my "under-construction Lenco TT) and passed by the Lee Valley there, but didn't have time to go in. Maybe when I go up again to pick up my TT, I'll have time to wander through.
