Dear @totem395  : Your post is spot on. I posted on the same issue:

"  and with the rigth " treatment " in its production there is no reasons to think it does not works.. "

Some years ago, Chris Brady (Teres Audio) and some other a'philes got together to do a shootout between Chris' new wooden platter and his lead loaded acrylic platters. The wood platter was the hands down winner in every case according to those who were there. I don't remember the title of the thread at this time though. Of course, the wood platter has lead in it also.

That is pretty interesting Artemus.
My present favourite mat is a lead and cork hybrid.
I assume that they ran these tests with just the platters and no mats on them otherwise meaningless?

The Teres wood platter is an exceptional idea and a real world product, but it is several inches thick and very heavily finished to negate any possible problem with warpage. Probably that has a better chance of success than would a much thinner wooden mat, but it's certainly not crazy to try it.  The temptation would be to use a hardwood to avoid warpage, but that might result in a "hard" sound.  Like I said, the choice of wood species will make a great difference in the outcome, in my opinion.  The thing is, if you make the mat yourself with your own hands, you're gonna love it.  Be careful of expectation bias.  I had a machinist make me a pure copper mat for my Kenwood L07D, to replace the OEM stainless steel "platter sheet" (a mat by another name), and of course, I love it.

Dear @rocky1313 : Thank's for your answer.
