Yellow Poplar
Yellow poplar is one of our least expensive
and most versatile woods. In the eastern United States it was a common
construction wood before being replaced by the western softwoods.
It was used for molding, doors, house siding, construction lumber, and just
boards for every conceivable application. Today, it is used mostly
as a secondary wood in furniture, millwork, doors, paneling and many other
applications.
The species ranges throughout the lower midwest and Appalachian regions and
southern states in nearly pure stands. The trees grow fast, and straight
with a high volume per acre.
The wood is soft and light with a wide white sapwood and a heartwood which
is initially green when cut, turning to a brown. The wood is relatively
inexpensive.
