Best wood for making an isolation platform?


I'm considering making my own sand isolation plaform for my cd player, something similar to a Bright Star sand platform. What is the best type of wood for this application (maple etc), should it perform well if made properly, and are there issues I should address when making this platform? Thanks.

Loose the sand, Maple works best, IMO.

Talk to this Gentleman here on Audiogon and ask for the 3 inch custom Maple stands he makes. The result is very pleasing.
