wood, especially mahogany and american black walnut,,, also, water (dunno if this could be a material for this category) but, have great ideas working with water.
also, those green foam used by flower decors, it's one of favorites to play with shaping them into interesting forms, although it can get quite messy....

well, i really don't like working with it because of all the dust, but beyond that its fairly workable. i also like the look of it, in its 'manufactured' texture and when it's sanded or cut. not too crazy about the smell though.
