European Aspen

Populus tremula

Light brown heartwood; wide pale sapwood that blends into heartwood.

European aspen (Populus tremula) is a light, pale hardwood with a fine, even texture and generally low density. It’s used for interior joinery, matchwood, packaging, plywood, and sauna applications; it works easily but has low natural durability and dents readily.
