The black poplar (Populus nigra) is a species of cottonwood poplar that grows in many parts of Central Europe. It prefers to live near riverbanks. In addition to a good water supply, it needs to be well-aerated gravel and sandy soil. Poplars usually live to about 150 years, occasionally even up to 300 years. The black poplar can reach heights of 80 to 100 feet.
This knife block is stabilized with acrylic resin in a complex vacuum process and completely penetrated. It hardly absorbs any water, which means it is dimensionally stable and no longer cracks. Stabilized wood can be worked very well with sharp tools and behaves like hardwood. Stabilization results in very good hardness, stability and sturdiness. It is therefore also suitable for heavy use / damp areas, e.g. outdoors. Each type of wood absorbs a different amount of resin, of course, the most resinous woods.
Dimensions: approx. 125 x 40 x 30 mm

Finely grained wood may contain imperfections such as open knots, bark inclusions, or cracks that are typical of the species. These flaws come from the way the tree has grown and are completely natural. They can usually be filled with low-viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue) and wood dust.
