Poplar, belonging to the genus Populus, includes various species of trees known for their rapid growth and relatively soft wood. Commonly found in the Northern Hemisphere, poplars are divided into groups such as cottonwoods, aspens, and balsam poplars. The wood is versatile and has a wide range of applications in both medicinal and industrial contexts.
Due to its ease of workability, this furniture board is used in making upholstered furniture frames, painted cabinetry and kitchens, and moldings. Its soft nature allows it to be shaped easily, although it may require finer sanding to achieve a smooth finish.
