I've done hundreds of hours of research on this mallet, and I believe it's Canadian wood.

I don't know what kind of wood, but it sure is nicely done.

I'll take the bait. It looks like (begining in the center and moving out) Ebony, Oak, ans Mahagony. Although the last one, Mahagony leaves me wondering, given it's a softer wood. That's my guess!

Lots of great guesses, the outer part is Purple Heart!! Try again on the lighter species and the inner core. Come on guys I have faith in you!!!
Oh btw, Mrhart only
the light species is a North American wood

I second this guess - my first thought was it looks like baseball bat wood, which in most cases are white ash
