The sapwood of Poplar is creamy white and may have streaks throughout the grain. The heartwood varies from pale brown to green with purplish streaks. The green heartwood tends to darken with exposure to light. Poplar is straight grained with medium to fine texture. Poplar is very strong and stable.
A face grain backsplash is a popular way to complement your butcher block countertop.

Finishing Choices
Mineral Oil: Two coats of a food safe mineral oil are applied to all surfaces. After you receive your backsplash, you should apply one coat of mineral oil to the face daily for one week, and monthly thereafter. You should also apply one coat of mineral oil to the sides, edges and any exposed areas in the back on this same schedule. Frequency of application can vary, but it is important to keep the backsplash well oiled. Food safe mineral oil is available at most drug stores.
Conversion Varnish: Three coats of our 45 sheen commercial grade conversion varnish are applied to the top surface. A special catalyzer is added for durability. Two coats are applied to all other surfaces. If your butcher block and backsplash will not be used for food preparation, conversion varnish is the recommend choice.
