About the only thing poplar is good for is staining or painting. It has a
greenish tinge sometimes, I think from mineral inclusions, which can affect
the final color.

Actually, I kinda' like the greenish part. I'm using some for a
multi-shelf magazine rack in progress and the green (sapwood?) across
the top contrasts nicely with the white (heartwood?) of the rest. I
even got some water-based poly (which I hate) to see how it will look
without ambering.

I have heard that the gree will eventually turn brown under light, but
that should still look good.
