I got some boxelder from Vesper a while ago, pretty pale with pink streaks that I thought went in 
There's some poplar burl in there too, I think (also from Vesper) that's white. Got some lemon here that I could leave with if you don't need it right NOW now

Holly or the Norfolk Isl Hibiscus are probably the best. I have neither unfortunately, but I do have Bonewood, that works if you turn it carefully and do not scrape. It is not a fine grained timber, but with careful cuts and sanding can look good.
The below piece's finial, rim and legs are from Bonewood, some spalted slightly.
Let me know if you want me to give some for you to try.
