Yellow Poplar, often referred to as Tulip Poplar, is a fast-growing, economical hardwood widely used in millwork, furniture components, and paint-grade applications for its stability and workability.

The sapwood of poplar is white to pale yellow, while the heartwood ranges from light yellowish brown to olive green, occasionally displaying streaks of purple, gray, or black that darken somewhat with exposure. Poplar has a straight grain with a fine, uniform texture and moderate density. It machines, glues, and finishes easily, making it a dependable choice where color will be painted or concealed.
