I'd try basswood, with a metal lip. Float it after you seal it and compare it to an original. Add weight to get it to float the same.

Bob, pick up a coping saw to rough out the bodies with. You can get 1 at HD for about $7.

White pine works well for me. I've also used red and white cedar, but they need more lead than the pine. Plus pine is cheaper so it don't hurt as much when I need to throw the duds in the fire.
