What is a good kind of wood to carve with turning tools, chisels and files?

I received a Woodworking Tool kit for Christmas, with turning tools, chisels, and files. Does anyone know what type of wood is good for a beginner to carve?
And where I might get a chunk of it? (I live in the desert)

Thanks a bunch!

i'm a commercial sign carver... any kind of tight grained wood will do. if your tools are sharp then it should make little difference if the wood is pine, cedar, oak etc.
you learn to "read" wood, with a little experience. boxwood and other exotics is expensive. better to invest in good quality sharpening equipment and buy junk wood.
