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.

Highly sought-after and considered high-quality furniture wood for interior design and high-end furniture construction. Due to its high strength and elasticity, it is also suitable for chair and seating furniture production. Particularly used for gun stocks and aircraft propellers. Traditional wood for piano and grand piano construction.

Has a very conspicuous flecking that gives this wood its namesake. The wood itself is a reddish brown with grey or light brown rays, which result in a lace pattern when quartersawn. Like other woods that exhibit the strongest figure in quartersawn pieces, (such as Sycamore), Lacewood has the most pronounced figure and displays the largest flecks when perfectly quartersawn; this is due to the wood’s wide medullary rays, whose layout can be seen the clearest when looking at the end grain.
