American Poplar
Commercially American Poplar is one of the most harvested hardwood species from the U.S. hardwood forests and is unique to North America, having been eliminated in Europe by the last ice age.
Poplar has less strong grain characteristic than species such as ash and oak, and is more like maple in character but darker in colour. However, there is a marked difference between the sapwood and heartwood of poplar. The sapwood is creamy white whereas the heartwood can vary from pale yellow or brown and even green to purple in extreme cases. The wood darkens with time on exposure to UV light and the green colour will turn brown. The wood of poplar is straight-grained with a medium to fine texture.
