I'm not qualified to answer but when I went to see Mr. Lonnie Mabry he said Walnut/Poplar is his favorite.

If you want rasp,,holly is a safe bet.
Walnut over butternut. All red oak can really get raspy. Red oak actually makes a great call ,but not many use it. My Sqwak Box is all red oak. Kenny Crummett said it was the best one in the box.
Walnut lid/Mahogany body; i.e. Lynch® World Champion™, and Fool Proof™.
I'm always fond of a persimmon box with a Macassar ebony lid.

I'm usually not after tons of rasp but generally when I listen through call makers sound files a bloodwood/butternut or bloodwood/walnut combo usually stand out to my ear as a good balance of front end and finish rasp.
To be honest a good call maker can make a hen come out of about any wood combo from his shop. If you want raspy you might look at the type of call or call maker I know most fiddle boxes by TJ and Watkins seem to be more raspy than the average cost style short box

Don't overlook Bloodwood and black Limba for the sound you described!
Walnut/poplar is my first pick, purple heart/cedar second.
Walnut/poplar is in my vest every hunt.
Purple heart over Elm. Or locust over elm

I have notice it is alot of callers like that Walnut &Poplar.This might sound like a stupid Question,but what type of poplar are you talking about?
Not a stupid question at all...It's a basic domestic Tulip Poplar, or for many it might be called mineral stained, sometimes referred to as Rainbow Poplar, but it's all the same wood, just depends on where it grows, nature of the soils, moisture...etc. It will vary in hardness, width of growth rings and therefore density and tone. Probably some of the best seems to come from the southern most states.
Black walnut/ red cedar Lamar William's
Very fond of this combo!

Bloodwood or Purple Heart over Limba
Snakewood / Chestnut
Speaking of snakewood, any call from Jody Harrison is likely to be raspy
In a very good way, I should add
Cherry over poplar.
