Ross I just started turning Conrads and Sr slopeheads. Weigh in approx 3.5oz. One slug that Prof M uses, 3/8X 3/4"deep. These plugs DIVE. I turned Big surf needles 8.25" x 7/8 dia. weogh in approx 3.5 oz. One thing I do is heat the maple 200 degrees for 15 minutes. Making sure it warm to touch I immerse in 06%val oil and 40% pure turps for 3 hrs to assure soaking in to prevent cracking. They gain 4-5 grams of sealer. have fun with the wood.
