= Introduction =

Tulipwood is the pinkish and yellowish wood which is wielded from tulip tress found in the Eastern side of North America and parts of China. In America, the wood is referred to tulip poplar, even though the tree has no relation to the poplars. This reference is due to the trees height, which can exceed 100 feet.

Tulipwood is very light, approximately 490kg per cubic meter, but it is very strong. The wood can be stained very easily, and in some cases, is used as a low-cost alternative to walnut and cherry, particularly in furniture and doors.

= Properties =

The green colour with tulipwood darkens upon exposure to UV light, resulting in the wood turning brown. This type of wood has a medium to fine texture, with the size of the sapwood and other characteristics varying upon the region it is grown.

Tulipwood offers many properties for its use:

* Low bending
* Shock resistant
* Offers stiff and compressed values

Tulipwood is highly strong for its weight, making it ideal for laminated beams and structures. Tulipwood is a common material due to its versatility and dimensional stability. It has little tendency to split when nailed, and the material holds paint, enamel and stain incredibly well.

= Brazilian Tulipwood =

Brazilian Tulipwood is a different species of a very dense, high-quality wood. It is known to be yielded by Dalbergia decipularis, a species restricted to a small area in Brazil. This type of wood can come in a variation of colours within its appearance, which can be streaked with yellows, reds, oranges and pinks.

The pores on this material are open and medium-sized, with the grain straight, offering a fine texture. Brazilian Tulipwood is a common material due to its resistance to decay and insect attacks. With its high density, the material turns incredibly well and holds a high polish.

Common uses for Brazilian Tulipwood include:

* Fine furniture
* Musical instruments
* Small turned objects
* Veneer
* Marquetry

= Australian Tulipwood =

Australian Tulipwood is the common name of Harpullia, with certain varieties prized for their dark coloured timber. The most commonly known of this material is Harpullia pendula, which is planted along the east coast of Australia as a street tree.

As the material is tough, heavy, fine grained and highly durable, it is excellent for turnery and cabinet timber.

= Common Uses =

This type of wood offers many desirable characteristics, and is suitable for a wide variety of important uses in varying industries, such as:

* Construction
* Interior joinery
* Furniture
* Kitchen cabinets
* Doors
* Panelling
* Mouldings
* Edged-glued panels
* Plywood
* Turning
* Carving

Tulipwood is the second most available species due to its mellow colour and high-performance properties, including its great stability and ease of machinery.
