POPLAR | Tier 1 Domestic Hardwood

This is a tier 1 wood. Each of our materials belongs to a "tier", which simply helps you determine how expensive the material is. Our least expensive materials are in Tier 1, while our most expensive and exotic materials are in Tier 6.

Poplar is typically a light cream to yellowish brown, with the occasional streaks of gray or green. Sometimes, we receive pieces with streaks of dark purple, red, green and yellow. Poplar can be incredibly unique, but tends to be very subtle in its coloring. It cuts perfectly and engraves a medium brown color.

Poplar is typically harvested in the Eastern United States.

ORDER A SAMPLE:

Before you make a final decision on which type of wood you'd like for your project, you can purchase a sample! Samples are available in two sizes:

— A small 3 inch square cut and engraved on 1/8" thick material - These samples are unfinished, raw wood and represent the quality of wedding invitations and signage you might be ordering.
— A larger 5 inch square cut and engraved on 3/4" thick material - These samples are lacquer-finished and faithfully represent the quality of each material as it would apply to your larger project, such as our unique boxes or inlay signs.
