I have used red oak, poplar, soft maple, cherry, box eldar, bradford pear, sycamore and pine. Red oak seems to be little to opened grained for me. To be honest, I really like cherry. Bradford pear was really nice to carve. Soft maple was also nice to carve. Poplar and box elder tears a little too much for me, but I can live with it. Sycamore was pretty nice to carve.
I have used walnut and bradford pear to inlay in cutting boards and that seemed to work really nice.
