Does anyone use wood for vibration control?

Not quite sure where this thread jumped the shark but it sure is a doozy right now.......

I think glupson may be on to something with the green glow in the dark unicorn thing. I bet geoff & glup's business contract would be a thing of beauty if they ever went into business together. 

Heard a couple audiophiles at a meeting talk about using those thick Ikea wood chopping blocks under speakers. 

So, I do find the subject of coupling/decoupling gear of great interest. 

Between all the tremendous witticisms, there is some information that I am finding helpful, especially as I am trying to figure out how the whole thing works. 

If I understand this correctly, the "hardware" (Audio Gear) needs to be "connected" to something that will absorb any unwanted resonant frequencies present in the gear? And the "something" that is absorbing the unwanted resonances needs to be isolated from the vibrations in the "world" so there are no unwanted vibrations from the "world" that make their way into the gear?

Do I have that sort of right?

Thanks
