I would have thought any wood you can get your hands on and try a spoon. Aint done it myself yet but everyone else seems to start here, knife and a crook knife.
If you dont fancy that, let your imagination run wild, dont make it too hard but its really up to you
a walking stick or a catapult is a good place to start . catapults being good for fun and food if you need a rubber sling band give me a pm can post 3 for 6pound inc p and p... then all you need to do is find a decent y shape stick to carve
kinda depends what you have to carve with i guess. the spoon is the obvious, but if you have more details carving tools go for a walking stick, and add a wood sprite to the top.
something nice and soft like apple or pear if you do a spoon or spatula or something. i started with a spoon or two then tried a bowl while trying lots of different local woods. tried some apple but couldnt get a large enough piece to make a decent spoon without doing lots of damage to the tree.
