I have Oak, Walnut, Sycamore,Cherry and Poplar.
The best looking choice of me is Poplar. Any suggestions.
Thanks

While you're at it, might as well use one of them to carve a few gnocci pasta boards. Cherry should look good.

I would use cherry, olive, poplar, walnut. I would not use oak, as it is too open-grained. For a spatula, the wood "blade" needs to be quite thin and strong. If it's available to you, ash, birch or hickory would be good also.
