Aspen grows in the USA and Canada and is related to Cottonwood and Canadian Poplar. Aspen is whitish to creamy-grey in color with a straight, even, and fine grain pattern. Aspen is soft and lightweight making it an excellent choice for the cores of veneer core plywood. Machining and finishing properties are only fair because of the wooly grain that sometimes occurs in Aspen.
