Poplar makes great siding...used since colonial times. Easy to saw.
Also a major secondary woor inside furniture.
Makes great bookcases, etc and takes several stains well.

I have never had good luck staining poplar and no longer try to do it.
It is a fine wood to use for painted furniture. It is my preferred
wood to use for drawers.
