COUNTRY OF ORIGIN |
North America |
BOTANICAL NAME |

OTHER NAMES | Robusta, Finnish Aspen, Swedish Aspen, French Aspen, Cucumber |
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES | Very low stiffness and resistance to shock loads. Low bending strength and medium crush strength. Poor steam bending characteristics. |
WORKING PROPERTIES | Slight blunting effect on cutters. Very sharp, thin cutters are required to overcome the woolly texture and produce a good finish. Nailing and screwing are satisfactory. Takes stain poorly, usually produces blotchy results. Takes paint, varnish and polish satisfactorily. |
DURABILITY | Poplar is perishable and susceptible to insect attack. Heartwood is moderately resistant to preservative treatment. Sapwood is permeable. |
SEASONING | Dries rapidly, but knots are inclined to split. Medium movement. |
USES | Due to tough, woolly, non-splintering nature, it is suitable for rough usage such as the bottoms of wagons and carts. Also used in furniture framing, drawers, toys, flooring, boxes and crates, veneers and plywood. |
COMMENTS | Several subspecies: P. Nigra, P. Canadensis, P. robusta, P. Tremula |

Boycott the Middle Man
Discover How IpeDepot.com Offers Sustainable Ipe Decking at Such Low Prices
Since the inception of our company, we've purposely avoided, and have boycotted anyone in our procurement staff and our producers throughout Brazil from dealing with lumber brokers, traders, or mills with a reputation of non-compliance. While other company's might fall for the tricks and deceptive practices that many brokers and mills employ, we've heard enough horror stories from customers that have been burned to know that it's sometimes better to take the more righteous path. This simple action of avoiding the middleman has enabled us to consistently import and ship only the best, sustainably harvested Ipe wood decking to you, our valued customers.
