I have an idea for mounting this year's fan and it involves making my own plaque. What kind of wood should I use?

I really like poplar it’s sturdy but soft easy to work and can come in a couple different colors but takes to stain pretty well. And last forever. There are other woods that are great and look good.

Well I would like to make the plaque in the shape of Indiana and use a wood burner to put the torch and stars design from the state flag on it. Then mount an empty shotgun shell on each side and put the feet inside the shells. I have an idea for mounting this year's fan and it involves making my own plaque. What kind of wood should I use?
