Wood per se would almost certainly make a very poor mat due it’s tendency to warp. What’s really required is to go to the root cause - the platter - and figure out how to damp it, no? We already know how to isolate it. The platter is analogous to the CD, which also vibrates and causes errors, even when the CD player is isolated.
Actually most cork is a composite of crushed up bits of cork and some kind of glue/stabilizer. Gag me with a spoon. 🤮 Now, if the cork is pure natural cork, which it almost certainly isn’t, then I’d be on board. I use cork for a lot of damping tasks but I only use pure natural cork.
