Yellow Poplar is a light and soft hardwood. It machines
easily and accepts and holds fasteners well with pre-drilling. Because of its low density Yellow Poplar has a tendency to fuzz and tear, so sharp tools are necessary. Yellow Poplar takes paint and stain especially well,
making it an economical choice for painted applications.
