You're posting in the wrong forum. You'll get more help in the plug building forum. Pine, basswood, alaskan yellow cedar, port orford white cedar, and poplar are easy to work with and make good surface plugs. Maple, birch, beechwood, some mahogany make good subsurface plugs. Good luck.

for poppers you can use a good variety of woods that are available. Birch or maple is good because they have some weight to them so you don't need to add all that much lead depending on what you are making.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
