Poplar, Yellow
Yellow Poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), also known as Tulip Poplar and Tulipwood, grows in a wide distribution from New England to Florida and west to Missouri.
Poplar sapwood is white to yellowish-brown and can be streaked with purple, green, black, blue, or red.
Yellow Poplar is one of the easiest of the hardwoods to work with. It machines, planes, and turns well, but can be difficult to shape.
Poplar is often used in interior applications for mouldings , furniture, and millwork because unlike pine, it does not have resins that could bleed through finishes. However, this lack of resin also lessens it’s ability to resist decay.
