POPLAR: poplar is an exceptional wood for furniture making, it is often overlooked for more exotic and complicated hardwoods but humble poplar has a truely outstanding beauty and many great qualities to build in a more affordable price range than oaks, maple and other hardwoods. As a narrow growing tree, large poplar slabs like these are rare to come by.  Poplar is a clean, light coloured, straight-grained wood with an abundance of character in its unique natural colour variations ranging from creamy white to caramel browns to olive greens and even mild purples.

Poplar is a stable hardwood not prone to movement and seasonal expansion and contraction.

Poplar takes paint, stains, and finishes exceptionally well and is an ideal wood for tables, countertops, desks, book-shelfs, shelving, mantels, carpentry/ crafting benches and epoxy projects.

Responsibly harvested to promote a naturally healthy resiliant forest, encourage future tree growth and carbon capture as well as providing a healthy forest habitat for birds, pollinator insects, small mammals and all the wildlife that inhabit our farm and the surrounding area 

GREEN WOOD DISCOUNT!! - green wood requires time to naturally dry to reach a stability suitable for finish work. Buy it fresh cut for the best price. Storing takes time and space so the longer we store it the more we have to charge.
