No. They were pine, but all different sorts of pine and all kinds of weights. The wood type doesn't matter as long as the plug is weighted correctly to float the way I described, and the correct lip mounted at the correct height is used. The depth any weighted plug achieves comes more from the lip geometry and line tie position than from what wood is used.
