I've found it is more rewarding fiddling around after shaping than it is engineering before shaping.
You'll drive yourself crazy trying to design a plug based on the properties of the materials, so just make the shape you want out of a couple different woods and mess around with the weights until it works the way you want.
Don't forget to seal your plug before sea trials, or water weight will eff its action all up. For protos a quick soaking with spray quick dry urethane is the way to go. Squirt it in all the holes, saturate the body and then stick it in a ziplock bag for a while so the urethane will soak in before drying, then take it out and let it dry a day before swimming.
