I am planning to make some frame and panel doors for a project at our
church. The doors will be painted. The doors will be tall (85"). I haven't
done much with poplar other than a cabinet and shelves that needed to be
painted. If I rip the stiles at 2" wide and 85" long will it spring apart
or together like cheap pine does?

Just to answer a possible question you might have in advance, each door
will only be 17" wide but very high as I pointed out.


"Cheap pine"! Clear pine is far from cheap.
