I was thinking:
Base - Sapele
Sides, Handle & strike nut - Maple
Infill & Wedge - Walnut
the base can be secured to the infill with 2 screws counter sunk into it so it can be replaced easily if needed.
My logic:
Sapele for the base as it is hard wearing.
Infill and wedge Walnut as it polishes up good and is a nice dark wood.
Sides, handle & strike nut maple as the lightness adds contrast to the dark infill
What do you all think?

I was making the sole removeable as I thought I saw that somewhere else and if it's not removable any lapping (or general wear and tear) of the sole will widen the mouth.
