I would say Pacific Madrone. Smooth even grain so it cuts like butter, and it warps insanely, and the more it warps, the more I like it. Add to that lovely pinks and purples running through it. Fruit woods are all nice, cherry especially. Love osage for the color. Mountain Mahogany for the deep red color, and the silky feeling of a wood that is so hard and dense. People who come into my booth and have a 'Wood' thing start to purr when they pick up a Mountain Mahogany piece. Some one gave me some coconut palm once. Never again.
