In Reply to: Another source for air dried maple platforms.... posted by mattcecil1@yahoo.com on February 14, 2007 at 09:45:00:
Your query caused me to Google on "maple" and "air dried." The first hit on the list was Gilmer Wood Company.My God! These guys got WOOD!
I went through all nine of their Newest Unique Boards pages.
I'm still mopping up.

hit the link and scroll down a few pages, amazing stuff. the funky 1 piece bass is wild. (below the spoon)'listening to wood' is kinda weird, no doubt about it.
i just removed a maple platform that was under my phono pre & psu for a few weeks & stuck it under a spiked power strip (bpt ppc). the strip's been sittin' on a painted plywood thru-wall hvac cover for nearly a year. the change is to my liking, music is richer and more 3-D, which is typical for this shit. i may even suspend this contraption with Isoblocks.
as a compromise i've placed never used lp's (the vinyl and cardboard jacket, no plastic outer sleeve) under the ci audio vpp-1 phono pre & its psu. this sounds great! anyone try this? its like the shackles have been removed. the most important of the LP 'mats' is under the psu of the vpp-1. i chose "Legacy of Brutality' by the Misfits for this, and honestly its the best the LP has sounded :)
i've been looking for a simple & cheap material to set inbetween gear and mdf shelving material - which led me into maple.
the mdf shelves on my lovan classic rack are toxic sounding. a few lp's under my XBOX & cable TV box seem to sound great also.

these guys are good...
Yeah, I saw that. I like how he incorporated some of the sap wood into the ends. Great photography too.se
Here's the spoon carver's web site. Take a look at the museums that exhibit them!

I doubt I'd have come across it if it hadn't been for your query.se
