Best wood for an isolation platform

If I want to build my own integrated amp platform and a CD player platform, what is the best wood to use? What about the spike/cones? Where is a good place to get them? Has anyone used the inverted pucks and steel ball from FIM? It seems like a great way to eliminate any vibration.

Is it the experience of those using butcher blocks that edge grain is superior to end grain?
My Mapleshade maple base shows edge grain, if I am interpreting the terminology correctly.
And, the gorgeous Walker Audio amp stands (reached using the link provided by Rushton) show edge grain construction.
