I have never heard of tulip wood. Tulips are flowers, right? What's going on here?
Tulip poplars are trees that grow very tall and sport yelllow-orange blooms on the topmost canopy. They are hard to see but often get knocked down during a storm in the Spring. The flowers are beautiful but actually look more like daffodils set in a tulip.

The pens and woods are gorgeous! What a wonderful hobby. Makes me want to polish and stain pieces of wood for the beauty of the grains. Maybe I could make some neckerchief slides for scouts.
