cherry is nice to work with but not a good wood for contact with salt water, it should definately be sealed first.
maple or birch
Alaskan yellow cedar
sizes from 3/4 x 3/4 up to 2x2
but mostly 1x1 or 1-1/2" x 1-1/2"
The size that I start with depends on what I am making whether it is a needle or a large swimmer.

Free wood!!!
I acutally enjoy turning GREEN wood. Nice smell and the chip just rolls off the tool like a ribbon. Just not good for making plugs.
I do a bit of faceplate turning with blocks as big as 11" round by 8" deep.....
For plugs I'm on cherry right now up to 2x2...

Any suggestions on wood types for a Surf Howdy type plug?
I might take a stab at making some of these.
Thanks in advance!

Jeff, it's a topwater plug so cedar should do fine.
I made one with AYC |

Thanks Slip!
I have some Red Cedar I can experiment with and may try the AYC.
I have to finish varnishing the old iceboat before I let the woodchips fly anyway.
