I have several tall, fairly large poplar trees that
have to come down
because of the risk of them breaking off and falling
on the
shop. (Yes, that tall) Makes pretty poor firewood and
only a little is
suitable for boards.  Rots too quickly to be good for
anything outdoors
as posts or baulks.


When i was studying building of saunas, poplar is
considered the best wood for building sauna benches.
Might be fun in Nova Scotia and utilitarian given the
climate.
