Poplar grows exceptionally fast and big. And pretty much all over. Maple is chopped up and burned out here, along with Cherry, Ash, Oak, Birch. There's plenty left over for sawyers. Price and availability fluctuate by what's being cut. There are many many wood puns that I will not repeat. The poplar one is perennial.

Woodworkers have a lot of time, alone with nothing but their own minds to keep them company. If it's a wood pun, it's been said.


Now, Choco, what's not to like about the poplar? Were you using 1/2" MDF and the Poplar is 3/4"?
