Excellent strength and
stability make poplar a
sound choice for caskets.
Poplar's color ranges
from creamy white in the
sapwood to pale
yellow-brown or olive
green for the heartwood.
The heartwood tends to
darken when exposed to
light, eventually turning a
rich brown.
Poplar has a medium-to-fine texture and a straight grain, as
well as a mostly uniform texture.In addition to being used
as a casket material, poplar is also commonly used in
furniture manufacturing, cabinetry, interiors, and as a
decorative veneer.
