The wood is generally white, often with a slightly yellowish cast. Poplar timber is a light colored, low density hardwood with a fine texture and complete lack of resin or taint. The timber is durable, moderately strong, and resistant to splitting.

Sawn timber can be used for a variety of purposes: joinery, pulp, paper, furniture, structural work, flooring, boxes, crates, wooden utensils, veneer, plywood and farm timber.

Its ability to work, stain, polish, varnish and glue make poplar an easy timber for manufacturers to use.

Poplar was the most common wood used in Italy for panel paintings; the Mona Lisa and indeed most famous early renaissance Italian paintings are on poplar.
