Poplar

Poplar, Liriodendron tulipifera, is also known as the American Tulip, Honey Tree, and Tulip Poplar. This is the tallest hardwood tree in North American forests. The tree drops its lower limbs when shaded which produces a tall, round trunked tree without knots and defects in the lower logs. The nectar from the flowers produces very tasty honey. Poplar wood is very usable for anything from furniture, cabinets and boxes to instruments, and more. The wood is easy to work and finish and is moderately hard.
