    have a (broken) piece of kiln shelving that was given to me by a
    potter. I also have a couple of kiln fire bricks. My 'bench' is made
    from an old writing desk with a scrap of plywood over the desktop,
    then sheet metal, kiln shelving and fire brick or Magnesium block or
    ceramic honeycomb or whatever works at the time. HardiPlank or backer
    board is a cement product that comes in sheets like drywall. Look in
    construction sites (with permission) for a scrap big enough to use. I
    will cut with a circular saw and a masonry saw blade. I have wondered
    about using a piece of slate. Having not used marble I would be
    concerned with inclusions in the marble being heated. I'm sure
    someone with more knowledge will comment. My point is that there are
    several things that can be used that are inexpensive or even free.
