Poplar (Liriodendron Tulipifera)
Heartwood is light cream to yellowish brown, with occasional streaks of grey or green. Sapwood is pale yellow to white, not always clearly demarcated from the heartwood. Can also be seen in mineral stained colours ranging from dark purple to red, green, or yellow, sometimes referred to as Rainbow Poplar
Very easy to work in almost all regards, one of Poplar’s only downsides is its softness. Due to its low density, Poplar can sometimes leave fuzzy surfaces and edges: especially during shaping or sanding. Sanding to finer grits of sandpaper may be necessary to obtain a smooth surface
Our turning blanks are carefully selected by our expert staff. Every blank is kiln-dried with hot wax applied to the end grain and edges to prevent reabsorption of moisture whilst in storage. This ensures your finished object will be stable when brought into a centrally heated environment. With a range of shapes and sizes, we are sure you will find something to stimulate your creativity and inspire your next project.
