Wood species/plug question

if anybody should know.. Slip would... I should have read more carefully.. shiny is the key word.. I've made enough bowls and trinkets from Cocobolo that I ought to know better..

and seeing someone mentioned teak.. nasty stuff... contains alot of silica... not only is it real bad to breathe.. it dulls tools like your turning a log of sand...
