WHAT WOOD IS YOUR FAVORITE BONGO MADE OF???

That is the question....some say the type of wood used on bongo drums is not that important,since it is a small drum....obviously it does not have as much impact than on a conga,but personally I do hear different sound qualities from different woods,and I am sure you gentlemen do too.Please share your thoughts on the subject,based on bongo drums you actually played,not just read about,and specify which one is your favorite (sound wise only,not looks).It is obvious to anybody in this forum that skin quality/thickness has an essential impact on bongo sound,but the question only relates to woods and not skins.
