Home grown turntable platform/base?

I picked up a used Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable for the family room. We are not big into vinyl, mostly listen to digital, but my 16yo daughter has shown an interest in getting some records. I’m getting excited about her interest in vinyl and audio. What is a good platform material to use? Wood? Granite? Should I add sorbothane and/or spikes underneath? I’m not looking to spend a lot but feel I should have some decent isolation for it. The turntable currently sits on a hollow shelf. It’s where it has to be so I need to make this work.

Thanks for any input.

This is exactly how my daughter gained an interest in vinyl. Same age too. Started with the project and that led into a VPI prime signature. 

We use the butcherblockacoustics platform. Nor very expensive a beautifully made.

It's amazing how 3 years later my daughter has collected over 100 records of her own. Met Michael Fremer and has been to numerous audio shows and shops. 

Enjoy
