Birds eye maple is strong, heavy, hard, and fine textured. The heartwood is light reddish-brown with deeper-coloured late-wood bands. The sapwood is white in colour, and furnishes the white maple prized for certain uses. It differs mainly from the soft maples in its greater density and firmer texture. It has a distinctive pattern that resembles tiny, swirling eyes disrupting the smooth lines of grain.
Also known as Poplar wood, Tulipwood's sapwood is white, and in second-growth trees, very wide; the heartwood is variable in colour, ranging from olive green to yellow or brown, and may be streaked with steel-blue. The annual growth terminates in a white band of parenchyma giving a subdued figure to longitudinal surfaces. Tulipwood timber is straight-grained. fine-textured, fairly soft and light in weight about 510 kg/m³ when dried.
