Common
These tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) saplings were harvested in Western North Carolina in June 2023. The saplings were submerged in water to ferment. The outer bark was cleaned off, and the inner bark was removed from the wood. After fermentation, the tulip poplar was rinsed and dried.
