Default Turntable materials

Hi all,

Hoping I get some more replies I start a new thread

I'm building a TT, and searching for the right materials.. I've done a lot of reading, but I'm still not satisfied..
First plans were to use multiple layers of plywood, with cavities for lead, and a thick layer of acrylic on top.

After some reading and questions on other forums the Teres way was vry tempting, i.e. to use hardwood. Trouble is finding the (^!&*( stuff in small quantities. If I was going to build 20 turntables and had professional tools no problem, but I don't..

So my first plan is coming back up, but to be sure here's my question to you: what would you use??

O yeah, forgot about Corian..

Thanks a lot, guys..
