From contributor B: But tulip poplar, aka white wood and yellow poplar, is different from cottonwood, which is also a poplar. Aspen is also a poplar, but different from both of the above. Confused enough yet? From contributor D: My wife has turned pens out of tulip wood, and this wood has some serious pink striping. You're telling me she's been turning yellow poplar? From contributor K: There is also a tulipwood in the rosewood family that may range from yellow into pink into purple with a very deep luster. It does not grow in America. I wish it did. From contributor D: Contributor K, that is indeed what I am most familiar with, regarding tulip wood. Thanks for the info. From contributor E: Sometimes, if tulip is dead on the stump, it will develop purple in the sapwood. The purple is beautiful, I think. The purple ring will start about 1 deep from the bark and be about 2 inches thick all the way around the log. If you saw just right, you will go from a creamy to indigo purple and back to creamy in a 10 inch wide board with all the rainbow in the middle. From contributor T: It's a shame that those rainbow colors brown out and fade, even with finish. Have you reviewed the related Knowledge Base areas below?
