Best wood for making an isolation platform?

I'm considering making my own sand isolation plaform for my cd player, something similar to a Bright Star sand platform. What is the best type of wood for this application (maple etc), should it perform well if made properly, and are there issues I should address when making this platform? Thanks.

Skip the sandbox, it has no magic quality and it only adds mass. The box is enclosed in a solid-to-solid connection with the sides, so transfers throughout the platform. You can read the "theory" on audiav's website for more information.

The best materials for shelves: VERY THICK
Hardwood crossed (like Boos) butcher blocks
MDF
Corian
Acrylic
Marble
Granite
Quartz
Zirconia
Diamond
Compressed Graphite
Layered Composites... in that order :)
