I purchased paduak from Woodcraft. The wood is a deep orange red,  
and machines well. See
http://woodworkerssource.woodmall.com/woodworkerssource/paduakafrican.html

The picture shown is lighter than what I have. The grain is so nice
that I plan on using a clear finish with no staining.

You can also view various wood types at:

Oak is pretty heavy and tough to work with. Buy some extra saw blades.
Same is true for maple.

Walnut is nice to work with. Had I found a good deal on some walnut
I would have used it. I think it would look great with the MOTM
modules. 

If you decide to go with any exotic hardwoods, be sure to wear a 
dust mask. Dusk from some exotics is carcinogenic.
