I had a conversation with Capesam at the show about which wood for what type of plug. He said it was in an old thread but I didn't see it yet. I think a list of plugs, followed by prefered wood type would be helpful.

For instance, went to find birch dowels for needles. No luck, but have plenty of ash. I reason it is about as dense as birch..... was corrected by another tradesman who says it will open , is more pourous with grain similar to oak.
So whaaddya think? Need some guidance here
