Veneer wood. Only very good blocks are used as sliced ​​wood. Also rotary cut veneer, furniture, door industry, and construction wood.

The heartwood is light brown to brown, and the grain appears as reddish-black dots. The most desirable arrangement of these dots is that they are distributed as evenly as possible across the surface. The black poplar is the only poplar species that develops grain growth.

One of the most common furniture woods in the USA. In recent years, hard maple has also gained a foothold in Europe as a furniture wood, especially as a "replacement wood" for pear, alder or maple in unsteamed white or muted pink tones. Due to its abrasion resistance, it is also used as a hard-wearing parquet wood in gymnasiums, etc. Turned as spools, shuttles, or billiard cues.

Tiny knots in the grain resemble small bird’s eyes. The figure is reportedly caused by unfavorable growing conditions for the tree. The tree attempts to start numerous new buds to get more sunlight, but with poor growing conditions the new shoots are aborted, and afterward, some tiny knots remain.
