Collection: Poplar Bowls
Poplar is one of the most common utility hardwoods in the United States. Though the wood is commonly known as “Poplar,” it is technically not in the Populus genus itself; the genus also includes many species of Cottonwood and Aspen. It is instead in the Liriodendron genus, which is Latin for “lily tree.” The flowers of this tree look similar to tulips, hence the common alternate name: Tulip Poplar.
