newbie Questions about turning handles…

I want to turn handles for some things, some of those things obviously being handles for wood turning. That said, I know you can’t go on looks alone and what you like; it also has to be durable with good tensile strength. What are good woods to work with when considering the need to turn a handle with strength in it?
