100% poplar

Great work!

I routinely find really nice, rainbow hued poplar at my local Lowes – they discount it because nobody will buy it!

I use it for scrollworking as well as boxes. You are correct though – far too many “Serious” wood workers bad mouth poplar and I don’t know why either.

Keep up the good work!

I personally like poplar and build just about everything with it.
I’m currently building a blanket chest out of solid poplar.
Nice build on the box,keep up the good work.

I like it. I will have to start looking closer for poplar that has that kind of character.

I have found that old poplar has a lot of character. Beautiful work.

I’m surprised that multi-colored poplar gets discounted, as lots of it gets painted. I like it for prototyping, so I don’t normally pick it through at all.

That said, any wood has beautiful and not-so-hot examples. It’s nice to see this “weird” poplar made into something nice! I’ve never seen curly poplar, that’s cool…

its soft for a lot of furniture, but certainly fine for boxes, face frames, or cabinetry/builtins

Love it! I love poplar as well, especially because I do mostly hand tool work. That lid looks great

Bill, thanks for sticking up for the state tree. Beautiful design with nice proportions. Your photographic skills have taken a leap forward too. Keep boxing and keep posting.
