Poplar sales

[mikeyg280]

Hi. Does anybody buy really popular poplar. Will have about 100 ton of 3ft diameter coming up near preston. What's it used for apart from matches. Any info would be appreciated. Ta

If there clean butts can be used for all sorts. Traditionally trailer and wagon beds as it's very impact resistant. It also takes treatment well so can be used in most applications where soft woid woukd be used like garden furniture, sheds etc. Think you will do well to sell it though.

I'd Have a little bit of it if you were closer and it was cheap.

they work well as slab tables for internals as they dry without too much degrade.

Everyone above has covered all the bases

 

I really like poplar - cuts well, smells terrible and is usually cheap or free up here. Only thing I find is that is shrinks terribly when it dries. A mezzanine I have in one of my barns has 35cm planks that were laid green. There are 25mm gaps between them now and they were flush when laid!

I have been surprised at how well it burns.

I have always found it burns really well . Must be kept dry though as it has sponge like qualities where water is concerned .
