Poplar
Wood texture is fine to medium with straight grain. The wood color varies widely from white to green with areas of pale brown, olive green and deep purple. Poplar's price and smooth texture makes it excellent for painting. The wood does stain well and most of the dark greens and purples can be removed in the manufacturing process for a "stain grade door". "Stain Grade" will still contain white and green wood so darker stains work better. VIEW DOOR PICTURE |
