Not to be confused with Brazilian Tulip, this timber is related to the Magnolia and is also known as Whitewood, Tulip Poplar or Yellow Poplar.

Pale beige in colour with light green heartwood, this timber is fine grained and soft, with cutting properties a tad easier than Sycamore. Commonly used by carvers and rocking horse makers.
