COUNTRY OF

BOTANICAL NAME

Liriodendron tulipifera
OTHER NAMES Robusta, Finnish Aspen, Swedish Aspen, French Aspen, Cucumber
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES Very low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. Low bending strength and medium crush strength. Poor steam bending characteristics.
WORKING PROPERTIES Slight blunting effect on cutters. Very sharp, thin cutters are required to overcome the woolly texture and produce a good finish. Nailing and screwing are satisfactory. Takes stain poorly, usually produces blotchy results. Takes paint, varnish and polish satisfactorily.
DURABILITY Poplar is perishable and susceptible to insect attack. Heartwood is moderately resistant to preservative treatment. Sapwood is permeable.
SEASONING Dries rapidly, but knots are inclined to split. Medium movement.
USES Due to tough, woolly, non-splintering nature, it is suitable for rough usage such as the bottoms of wagons and carts. Also used in furniture framing, drawers, toys, flooring, boxes and crates, veneers and plywood.
COMMENTS Several subspecies: P. Nigra, P. Canadensis, P. robusta, P. Tremula
