Poplar Hardwood Lumber Boards - Surfaced S4S (surfaced four sides) and kiln-dried. This board is more finished than our S2S1E boards and cut from our S2S material. Although surfaced, additional dressing and sanding of the boards may be needed to complete your project.

The back side can have a few knots, wane and other minor defects. There can be an occasional end check (small crack at end of board).
