Poplar sales

[Hamburglar]

Used a fair bit in painted kitchen cabinets. Americans call it Tulipwood. Paints well with the tight grain. Must be a sawmill keen to take it. Our joiner uses loads of it.

Tulipwood is from the tulip poplar, Liriodendron tulipifera. Not a true Poplar (Populus)

A mate of mine is loading pop 30 to 40 containers s day that will be shipped to India they paid top money for it

 

Top money really?

Most of the stuff that is shipped to India s bought and sold on an underbark basis which amounts to giving around 18% average of a parcel away compared to overbark. I foot length given free on each stick for drying crack,...it all adds up.

[Peter]

Underbark or overbark makes no difference so long as you negotiate the price on the correct basis beforehand.

Quite true, but the containerised price isn't as attractive as it seems when you break it down.
