Butcher BLock Acoustics under turntable


Just purchased a VPI Prime Scout and am very happy with the sound.
I am looking for a platform to place underneath the table for isolation purposes.
I stumbled onto the site of Butcher Block Acoustics where they offer solid maple at 1 3/4 inches deep and
3 inches deep at custom lengths and widths. The pricing is extremely reasonable.
They claim their product is solid maple, which I have no reason to doubt.
Would solid maple by a good choice  for isolating my turntable from vibration?
The website is butcher block acoustics.com.
Thank you.

Great lead bpoletti, thanks! Anybody ever try the walnut platforms? I could certainly use the large one on top of my current sand filled stand. That would work out well since I also have a 5' x 14" x 2" thick solid slab that I'm planning to use at some point in the future to place my table & preamp on. Just wondering how walnut compares to maple in regard to sound quality.
