RV063-OAK GRAY

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.

The wood can be easily worked with all tools. The knife edges are not damaged by mineral deposits. But, Drying must be controlled very carefully and evenly, as the wood tends to warp and crack easily.

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.

Veneer wood, exclusively as front veneer in the furniture industry (main countries: Great Britain, USA), in interior design, and the piano industry. Lengths usually up to 1.50 m.
