My thought on bench dogs is they should be sacrificial while not sacrificing my plane blades. Bench dogs are easy to make whether they be round or squared.
I kind of cringe watching Roy Underhill with his big iron bench dogs. All too often one of my dogs has been clipped by a plane to even consider something that could take a big hunk out a blade.
Exotic woods are nice for projects that will be enjoyed for a long time.
