I did a quick search and found at least one blog where green wood was used, the owner felt like it tightened up on the handle as it dried. One of my timber frame books makes reference to using fresh cut wood from the build site for large mallets used there. It does go on to state the typically split, mind you these are 8″ round plus heads.
I would give it a try.
