Title: What's your favorite wood for slate over glass?

I am looking at putting together a slate over glass call.  What are some recommendations for a good wood for the pot?

Sound-wise, I don't hear a huge difference, so I usually opt for the cheapest I can find when I'm making them.  That usually ends up being Poplar.

Walnut.

The more figured, the better.

Red Cedar. White  Oak is great if you want a slate that is higher pitched and loud.

Walnut for medium pitch and maple for a little higher pitch for me. Can change everything with the striker, too.
