Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt

Charyo
i was just curious , i have a vpi classic jmw 10 and a micro benz / ace also 

I agree with chayro, no way to predict but butcher block maple is what I choose so I guess I like it’s sonic signature.

McMaster Carr has butcher block food prep sheets, thick ones, up to 2.25” if I remember correctly.   Cheap as anything since it’s not audiophile related.   One sheet would supply a system and perhaps a friends as well.

Hickory is denser for whatever thats worth or not vs resonating frequency 

Engineeringtoolbox.com has charts of every wood 

I was just looking elasticity and density on another site. Its a little more dense but also little more rigid, which is offsetting in simple resonance equation, so hard to say. Wood isn't so homogenous in all directions either. Going to be close in sound, I suspect. Sound like a setup for a shootout.
