Tulipwood
Lightweight and easy to work, ideal for internal joinery
Product Details
Tulipwood, known scientifically as Liriodendron tulipifera, originates from North America. The sapwood is white and, in second-growth trees, very wide. The heartwood is variable in colour, ranging from olive green to yellow or brown, and may be streaked with steel-blue.
Tulipwood is straight-grained, fine-textured, fairly soft, and light in weight.
Good – Easy to work and finishes to a fine, smooth surface. Takes nails without tending to split, glues well, can be stained, polished, or painted, and holds hard enamel finishes excellently.
Tulipwood is non-durable, so it is best used for interior applications where it will not be exposed to harsh weather conditions.
