Poplar Overview
Poplar (Tulipwood) is one of the most adaptable North American hardwoods, favored for its light weight, straight grain, and reliable machining characteristics. It’s a top choice for interior joinery, furniture frames, and architectural mouldings — particularly where a smooth, uniform surface is desired for paint or stain.
At Bennett Hardwoods, our Poplar is kiln-dried to 6–8% moisture content for dimensional stability and precision machining. Each board is NHLA-graded and inspected to ensure consistent quality and color uniformity, providing customers with export-ready, performance-driven hardwood every time.
