Description

DESCRIPTION

Poplar heartwood is usually creamy-white to gray in color, sometimes pale brown or pinkish-brown. Grain is straight and can be woolly. Texture is fine and even.
Weight ranges from 23lbs to 33lbs per cu .ft.

COUNTRY OF
ORIGIN

North America

BOTANICAL NAME

Liriodendron tulipifera

OTHER NAMES

Robusta, Finnish Aspen, Swedish Aspen, French Aspen, Cucumber

MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

Very low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. Low bending strength and medium crush strength. Poor steam bending characteristics.

WORKING PROPERTIES

Slight blunting effect on cutters. Very sharp, thin cutters are required to overcome the woolly texture and produce a good finish. Nailing and screwing are satisfactory. Takes stain poorly, usually produces blotchy results. Takes paint, varnish and polish satisfactorily.

DURABILITY

Poplar is perishable and susceptible to insect attack. Heartwood is moderately resistant to preservative treatment. Sapwood is permeable.

SEASONING

Dries rapidly, but knots are inclined to split. Medium movement.

USES

Due to tough, woolly, non-splintering nature, it is suitable for rough usage such as the bottoms of wagons and carts. Also used in furniture framing, drawers, toys, flooring, boxes and crates, veneers and plywood.

COMMENTS

Several subspecies: P. Nigra, P. Canadensis, P. robusta, P. Tremula
