Hi Richard,
You state - that poplar was never widely used.
How do you know this and what test have you employed to arrive at this conclusion ?
How many buildings have you sampled and were these in poplar growing areas ?
You state that it twists and is prone to rotting and hence this implies that somebody has converted it for use in some respect or other. What was that use ?
We need to establish some hard "evidence based" facts in respect of the use of poplar.
Regards
Ken Hume
