If you can get holly veneers, they would be the whitest. At least that's what they mostly use for intarsia wood pictures where they want a flat, white wood with little to no grain.

Curly Maple or Curly Ash both tend to be rather white, albeit way too white for my tastes.

Holly or Birch.  Both can also be bleached (Chlorox)to get an even whiter look.

Here is some honey locust I'm working on now probably will finish pretty near maple or birch tone maybe a tad darker with a bit more heart wood sap wood variation. Newer used holly so not sure about finish color of that. Action boo would be pretty light too.

Light wood fan of have something else in mind?
