Wood isn't that abnormal of weight distribution. I've seen pieces where it's very heavy on one end or the other but it's very very few and not typical.

As many have said, rigging the plug up offsets this imbalance and here's a first hand example...
I turned a danny body out of pine a while back. While there was nothing visibly different with the wood, it absorbed a very large amount of sealer on one side of the body and appeared to be very unbalanced. When I put the plug body on a flat, level surface it rolled hard to the side with the extra weight. As an experiment I inserted the lead belly weight, put the hooks on, and fully rigged it so it could be tested out in water before I finished it...
The plug lists to one side while sitting in the water, but upon retrieve it rights itself and swims like a champ...
