So far, no one has suggested "Fruit Wood". Its my bet. S&W has made grips from it off and on in the 1980s.
Wood characteristics vary from piece to piece of the same species . Take a slab of lumber and at one end you can have tight burl in the middle a complete different grain structure and color. That is the fun of grip -wood working you never know what you will end up with
