plinth material

Hi All, I have two questions really. 

I'm planning on building another Lenco 75 on a PTP5 top plate and am seeking a supplier of phenolic resin impregnated wood here in the US for construction of the plinth. A commonly known brand is Panzerholz.

Secondly, Is there a different material I should consider instead?  I have one I previously built out of slate so looking for something different this time.

Thanks

Thanks pindac.  I haven't yet ventured to Lenco Heaven but spent many hours there when I built one out of slate several years ago. At that time I only saw a few mentions of the material but not any projects with it.  Do you suggest 2-3, 25mm layers over one 70mm slab?

10 mm seems way too thin just from a support perspective to be the only layer of the plinth. If it were a sub-layer what might you consider for the top layer?  I have a left over slate piece that's about 18mm thick.  My current table has a 3rd bottom "skirt" layer just to obscure the view of the motor. 

When I was building the current table I saw folks suggesting bamboo cutting boards from IKEA.
