Poplar

Poplar, commonly known as Tulip Poplar or Yellow Poplar, is pale cream to yellow-brown heartwood with occasional grey/green streaks (scientific name: Liriodendron tulipifera). Sapwood is a pale yellow to white colour that blends in with the heartwood. It has a medium texture, a low gloss, and a straight and regular grain.
