Anybody know if there was a preferred type of wood used for screwdriver
handles?

For good ones, it was often Rosewood early-on, then Walnut, often. The
"Perfect Pattern Handle" was the first successful commercial version.

Rosewood is one strange material. Had a small coupon of it on my keychain
for years, it was outlasting the other metal junk attached next to it.
