I use poplar...turns much better and is a bit more durable. I just got commissioned to make some poppers for a dude who fishes for stripers in Cape Cod MA. Maple was really good, red oak too...i was looking for weight...he wants them 3oz. Not counting hooks and such. Both turned better than pine.. just huckin it out to you. Nice work btw....like the paint!
I have used poplar before and it works well. I happen to have a large supply of pine. It seems to be some type of southern yellow pine but I’m not sure. Its dense and seems to have pretty tight grain. It’s stronger than poplar and much heavier. I'm just going off feel never weighed them so I'm not sure about the actual weight. Good luck with your poppers thanks for watching.
