Never burnt any, but milled some recently

I was saying to a mate the other day while admiring his new poplar burr (and a little ripple) topped guitar that guitar tops is an excellent use of woods that aren’t intrinsically strong and/or stable. A 5mm top is held in place with a 30mm slab of something aesthetically boring behind it. My first thoughts for such tops were poplar, horse chestnut, lime and eucalyptus (for ripple rather than burr). Any other ideas?

I've found it very light once seasoned, so burns fast with not too much heat.

That would be my experience of it as well.
