Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt

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.

Thanks ohlala
    I have a freind who just had some amazing countertops made with this hickory ,and i said to myself hmmm and he said he has a 30"x24" peice left and well i think i might buy it off him.It's gorgeous and different.Seems to me denser would vibrate at higher frequency but hey i have really no idea honeslty .lol
