Poplar is a poor wood today for car siding. We use it at Knotts and it doesn't last. Even in our dry climate. We would like to use something better.

When the EDNA was re-sided during her restoration they used mahogany for the siding. It has been over 10 years now and we have yet to replace any siding.
