American Tulipwood

This wood presents a straight and uniform grain, and a fine and regular texture.

The colour of the heartwood ranges from a light yellowish brown to an olive brown and can manifest occasional streaks of grey and green. It is very differentiated from the sapwood, whose colours can vary from pale yellow to white.

The trees are huge and identified by their tulip-like flowers giving rise to the name. Tulipwood grows from north to south and is one of the most sustainable hardwoods in the USA.

As it is known, poplar has various uses across different industries due to its versatile properties.

It is primarily used in the production of pallets, crates, and upholstered furniture frames, owing to its light weight and ease of processing. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in the manufacturing of paper and plywood, where its fine grain and uniform texture are highly valued.

Poplar is also commonly used in interior joinery, such as for doors, windows, and moldings, offering both strength and aesthetic appeal.

In addition, it is utilized in lightweight constructions and for interior finishing in boats, where durability and water resistance are key.

After undergoing appropriate preservation treatment, poplar is also used for exterior joinery, making it a popular choice in both residential and commercial applications.
