Wood is just fine but youll be cutting down greatly on the burn time since the core wont absorb fuel. Ive never personally made any but some other options are a smaller monkey fist knot or a ball of absorbant natural fabric (cotton/denim/wool).

Let's turn those old bridges we crossed into ashes.
We'll blaze a new trail,
and torch the rough patches.

I use a small cylinder of solid aluminum, drilled and tapped to accept a stainless steel eye bolt (for connecting to the chains). It won't absorb extra fuel, but I like the weight it adds.

Metal core in a monkey-fist = masochism.
Monkeys are already heavy when they've taken fuel! You won't be needing anything heavier, in my opinion!

What a wonderful miracle if only we could look through each other's eyes for an instant.

Big monkeys have smaller monkeys,
in their core when you light em,
small monkeys have smaller monkeys,
and so, ad infinitum

Yes, I understand what you mean
I was making a silly joke based on a very old poem about fleas. Which no-one found funny
Except me
when I made monkey fists, I did a fig8 knot, then did a 2 bight monkey around that, then a 4 bight monkey around that. You might find 3/8" (about 9mm) rope easier than 1/2" (12mm).
I should also tell you to do a search, because there's lots of information about this on here already:

(bight is a term for what you're calling ply or fly)
