POPLAR<br />

The anchor beams are hewn POPLAR (samples 103/2 and 105/2). Poplar is a soft<br />

hardwood, which varies in color from pale yellow to greenish brown. The color darkens<br />

over time when exposed to light. Poplar is distinguishable under magnification by its<br />

diffuse-porous distribution of small pores, clear growth rings, and opposite inter-vessel<br />

pitting.<br />
