WLW Mappa Burr Live Edge Board
European Black Poplar (Populus nigra)
Heartwood tends to be a light brown. Sapwood is a pale yellow to nearly white, and isn’t clearly demarcated, tending to gradually blend into the heartwood. This species also yields a unique burr that’s commonly sold as Mappa.
Easy to work with hand and machine tools, though sharp cutters are necessary when planing to avoid fuzzy surfaces, (subsequent fine-sanding may be necessary to obtain a smooth surface). Wood has a tendency to warp and distort during drying. Glues and finishes well.
50mm thick, live edge board
L: 91cm W: 70cm
NOTE: Measurements are approximate - see image for details. Sawn character boards may have some shape, uneven surfaces, uneven thickness, splits or old worm holes.
