Bill sez
I can recommend Ipe.  I turned a decorative plug out of Ipe that has 
survived 5 or 6 years of daily wet/dry cycles with no evidence of 
deterioration.

   I was going to recommend ipe too. Its easier to get than cypress or 
teak.
I would go for the design of small bars (shaped or plain) joined to 2 
little end feet for maximum drainage.  I can't imagine relying on glue 
alone for this. I think I'd probably go with little brass nails or 
screws in addition
  It'll still get mungy but not quite as quickly.

yours scott who will be needing to turn a little ipe plug for his sink 
just like Bill did, soon
