pretty much any wood you can find laying around, as long as it's not that beechwood. also check for bugs.those can also ruin a good carving. best bet is wood aged with the bark on. less cracking if its dry. but dont worry too much about cracks, you can color them in with a dark stain. even tiki paintings have cracks.
