Tulipwood woodturning blanks are a popular and practical choice for a wide range of turning projects. Also known as Yellow Poplar this timber is valued for its consistent structure and ease of use. It is suitable for bowls spindles boxes and general craft work.
Tulipwood is pale cream to light yellow in colour. It often shows green or grey streaks which slowly fade with time and light exposure. The grain is mostly straight with a fine even texture which gives a clean and simple appearance.
Tulipwood is a soft hardwood that turns easily on the lathe. It cuts cleanly with sharp tools and is very forgiving. This makes it ideal for beginners and for repetitive work. Light cuts help reduce minor surface fuzz on end grain.
Tulipwood sands quickly and produces a smooth surface. A sanding sealer is recommended as the wood can absorb finish unevenly. It takes paint stain oil and wax very well which makes it suitable for both decorative and natural finishes.

A very nice blank unable to get the actual size I wanted but was contacted by the firm and offered larger blank at no extra cost. Very quick delivery will certainly use the company again.
