An increasing demand for wood to meet the furniture market provides challenges and opportunities to explore new and fast growing materials for making curved lumber.Plantation poplar,which is a fast growing and relatively low value species,was used to make curved laminated-veneer furniture parts and then their physical and mechanical performances were evaluated in this study.The results indicated that properties of the furniture parts met the national standard requirements.This showed that laminated poplar veneer lumber could substitute some solid wood in furniture manufacturing and thus add value to poplar-based products.
