Am I the only one who has no idea what "burnt poplar" is or where you get it or how you make it? I tried google and youtube and found mostly poplar as firewood for home heating but nothing on bowl making or wood working.
What is burnt poplar, where do you get it, or how do you make it?

Thanks for the kind words !!... Here is what I was told on the Burnt poplar ( I never heard of it either ) !! They take regular green poplar and put it in ovens and bake it for a period of time. And as it is cooking ( high temp) it turns it a light to medium dark brown, completely inside and out !! At the lumber yard you can definitely SMELL the burnt poplar. It gives a fake Walnut look….. It cuts nicely ,sands nicely, and finishes nicely. I just stumbled onto it… cheap lumber,nice look !

Sounds similar to making charcoal but at a lower temp. and probably for a shorter time. I doubt that the wife would let me experiment in the kitchen.
