All the pallets I see are made from fir or some other cheapo fast growing wood. Have never seen the woods mentioned by the second answer and given the cost/use, it's hardly any wonder.
Incidentally on mainland Europe most pallets carry a deposit which ensures their return. In Northern Ireland the 'loyalists' burn hundreds of thousands of these along with old tyres on the 11th July to celebrate the Battle of the Boyne and presumably the Protestant "Enlightenment".
