Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

I'm conflicted on this one...

I'm aware wood plays a part in tone for instruments. With the Mapleshade 4" under my table, couldn't hear a noticeable difference between the expensive slab and the 1" cheap  cutting board  from Target. I guess my ears aren't sensitive as some here.

Another thing to file in the YMMV cabinet.

michaelgreen,

Speaking of wood, let's say walnut as above, do you take into consideration the time/season it was harvested?

Once upon a time, it was emphasized in some of the products. I am not sure if it was more for marketing purposes or it really mattered that much. There was something about density of the wood depending on the season (wet, dry, something like that). For a casual follower, it does make theoretical sense at least.

If true, accurate comparison of different wood samples would have to include harvesting timing.

Here comes the old Brer Rabbit and Tar Baby routine. What about this? What about that? It’s such a nice day outside, too.
