    Default American Poplar Substitute

    Hi.

    I'm going to make a projector screen based upon an American design (3m x 1.4m).

    The designer says poplar is the ideal choice for the frame as it's not prone to warping.

    The frame for the screen will use approximately 25mm x 75mm wood.

    Can anyone recommend a suitable wood here in Sydney that is pretty much warp-free in a non-air-conditioned living room.

    Thank you.

    Tasmanian oak, or some places call it victorian ash. Available everywhere.
