The poplar makes nice knock hockey pucks.The spanish is nice a slightly heavier than the red.It's a poor man's mahogany.It's holy which is a pita if you worry about them things.The maple is nice hard heavy can be hard to and carve.I have seen the world of difference in mahogany.Mahogany which is in the cedar family can resmeble cedar in weight and hardness of it can run close to a soft maple.
The cypress looks nice I can't recall ever using any.i would think it is like white cedar which You don't see anymore.Or a bass wood.
They turn nice, have a lighter specific gravity than AYC..I think.
Thats a lot of plugs there.I wonder how many will get finished..

FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..
