Yes, that's what I am afraid of as well......it would seem they've already bought it for such though.IMHO too soft.

Looking for some advice on whether a poplar slab is suitable to use as a bar top? I'll be making this for a friend. They've found a reasonable priced slab already. I have very little experience working with poplar. Is it too soft or will it hold up ok?
Poplar looks really good with lots of dark walnut stain and polyurethane
