Forget all the engineering Eric. ;-)
Try it my way- it works and is easier than messing with a slide rule.
Level slow sinker? Could be done several ways, but You run into issues if you go with too buoyant a wood.
The more buoyant the wood, the more lead you have to put in, thus the heavier the lure. You also need someplace for that lead to go, so you will have a thicker body. There is no place to hide a ton of lead in a skinny lure.
I would start with maple since it will need minimal lead to sink it. Casting distance could be an issue since you won't have a huge tail slug to drag the plug out to the horizon, but I don't see this as a problem most of the time.
Again, drop the engineering, and go with trial and error. ;-)
