Lombardy Poplar – Premium Turning Blank
Lombardy Poplar (Populus nigra ‘Italica’) is a clean, lightweight hardwood prized for its smooth texture, pale color, and easy machining properties. Naturally creamy white to soft yellow with subtle, straight grain, Lombardy Poplar offers a crisp, modern aesthetic that appeals to woodturners who want a blank that’s both versatile and beginner-friendly.
This wood turns beautifully with minimal tear-out, sands quickly, and accepts stains, dyes, or resin enhancements with exceptional clarity. Its stable, uniform texture makes it perfect for both natural finishes and vibrant color work, including color fusion dyes, stabilized treatments, and resin-hybrid creations.
Ideal for pen blanks, tool handles, ornaments, small vessels, craft projects, and spindle turning, Lombardy Poplar provides dependable performance without the unpredictability of harder or more interlocked species. Because it’s light and easy on tools, it’s a popular choice for turners refining technique or crafting pieces where smooth, tactile finishing is essential.
Every blank is hand-selected for straight grain, uniform color, and clean surfaces, ensuring a reliable turning experience from start to finish.
