Why Choose Poplar?

Budget-friendly poplar beats the pants off of pine. It's soft but dense so it's delightfully easy to shape and machine. The tight grain makes the perfect choice for stain or paint, but poplar works fine with a clear finish, too.

Get ready to work with the finest wood squares you've ever seen, they're ready to be turned into whatever you can imagine, such as furniture parts, table legs, small accessories, handles, artwork and other fine woodworking projects.

Like Having My Own Personal Millworks
Been coming to Woodworkerssource for many years. I know it's costly to bundle (neatly) hardwoods and plywood (cut to size), not to mention shipping costs. I'll keep coming back, though, because these folk are the BEST.
Familiarity: I've used it once or twice

Furniture squares
Arrive on time and well packed. Three of the squares were the specified 30 inches and the fourth was 30 3/8 inches. Not a problem. Will definitely buy again.

Good quality, beautiful grain.
Wood is true to size (+1/16") and straight. Very very few defects in the large amount of wood purchased.
