The best timbers for specific turning applications? e.g.whats best for pepper mills, or salad bowls,or anything else which can be turned on a lathe?

Taffy, Thanks for your advice regarding the none toxic properties of Jacaranda. However here in southern Vic. that species is somewhat rare as it is not very frost tolerant.
I worded the question badly , as what I am really after is a definitive list of timbers and their applications, if there is such a thing.
I have access to Red Gum, Silky Oak, Mountain Ash(Tas. Oak) Blackwood, Elm, Cedar Wattle, Liquid Amber, Cypress,and various other pines & some exotics to name but a few. As you can see a reasonable variety. Thanks again and have a good turn.
Regards John
