: I have an opportunity to pick up some nice poplar boards and was wondering if
: poplar is an acceptable wood for kayak building. I would of course have to

: Great Auk out of Nicks book. Thanks

Poplar can have a green tint. Someone on this website used poplar recently as an accent strip. The green tint worked fine in this situation.
Poplar is also heavy so take it easy on how much you use.
