   Brian,

   Take your pick - this question is either impossible to answer because you will get as many opinions as there are woodworkers, the decision depends entirely on you, or it's very easy to answer - just use any medium to dark domestic or tropical hardwood, it really doesn't matter which. There is no "best" choice.

   Mahogany, walnut, teak, rosewood, koa, darkly-stained oak. Add any hardwood you want to the list.

   But whatever wood you use, whatever finish, without a pad on the desk, you will emboss the wood with any writing implement. So, use a "desk pad."

   edit: Just saw your other thread on this same subject. It's best to limit yourself to one thread on any particular question.
