Good for you! Genuinely. The difference here is the market and volume. Europe vs US, and 50-100 large trees vs one right next to a house. I'm not saying raw wood is worthless, but people in the US get an overinflated sense of what they're one 30-40 yr old tree in their yard is worth. You got a forest? That's a whole different ballpark. In the US, that's not a scenario where you pay, that's when you take bids to buy.

Poplar is useful wood. I don't know much about the Asian market, but it's your go-to soft but still considered hardwood, often paint grade wood. Excellent for plywood, great for furniture (usually with veneer) and trim, and apparently matches haha. It grows straight, tall, and with minimal limbs and large knots. I love working with it.
