Has anyone tried building a stripper from poplar?
I'd like to try an entire canoe hull made from bigtooth aspen (populus grandidentata) strips. Aspen is a hardwood and heavier than cedar, but it's really cheap and available in long lengths here in northern Wisconsin.
I've used it to glue up into accent strips with cherry and it seems to sand about the same as cherry.
