Best wood for an isolation platform

I'm glad to hear you are happy with the platforms! I've tried to keep the pricing of the platforms as fair as possible and still be competitive on pricing and quality with other major Maple products on the market.

In regards to pricing, I have a set per sq. ft. pricing policy so it doesn't matter how large or small a piece is, the price is proportional to the amount of Maple needed.

As for grain, in general my platforms up to 2" are flat grain (sometimes you can get as much as 2-1?4"), and beyond that it has to be edge grain. If you can hear the difference in sound between edge grain and flat grain....you have better ears than me:)

Hey, Yes you did updaye me...I just stumbled upon this thread and thought I'd pipe in! I just sold a whack of large platforms to someone building a clone of the Mapleshade rack...should be nice when its finished.

Is that tung oil from Lee Valley?

I was in Ottawa on the weekend (visiting my "under-construction Lenco TT) and passed by the Lee Valley there, but didn't have time to go in. Maybe when I go up again to pick up my TT, I'll have time to wander through.
