Default chestnut for a Lenco plinth?

I'm about to embark on a replinthing (not really a 're' as it doesn't have one at the mo) of a GL75 I got off ebay.
I know I want to do a pretty high mass one and would make it out of plywood layers (with the odd MDF one). But if I can get away with it, I don't like buying materials.
Now, I happen to have a lot of seasoned chestnut lying around in very (400+mm) wide boards. Does anyone have an opinion on how suitable this would be for a high mass idler plinth? Or would I be better off not being stingy and going for plywood
Thanks
Harry
