General description: The heartwood is usually creamy-white to grey in color, sometimes very pale brown or greenish-purple. Straight grained and inclined to be wooly; texture fine and even.

Working Properties: Poplar has only a slight blunting effect on tools. Very sharp, thin cutting edges are
required to overcome the wooly texture and produce a good finish. Nailing is satisfactory and gluing is
easy. The surface will take paint well.

Uses: Used for interior joinery and well as furniture framing and drawers.
