Turning Balsam Poplar
I had a tree come down in our forest last week in a wind storm. I have
been cutting firewood in this forest for 20 years now and this is the first time I have come across a balsm poplar. It has a white sap wood and a very rich redish brown heartwood. I have roughed out one bowl so far. I did a search on this NG but came up with nothing. Has anyone turned balsam poplar. What are the characteristics of this wood is there a reason no one turns Thanks in advance Peter |
