Working and finishing Poplar
Soft and easy to machine, plane and carve; the green/purple mineral streaking is cosmetic only and does not affect strength. A common shop/paint-grade and secondary wood.
Mineral streaking can look blotchy or muddy under a wiped stain, so it is usually painted or finished clear rather than stained; not typically used for cutting boards.
Sold as is. Grain, colour and figure vary from piece to piece. Confirm the dimensions your build needs before you buy.
