Stripped poplar logs are too smooth. They're way too similar to mushroom stems, don't fit in with the rest of the wood set, and their side texture doesn't feel like a directional block. The unstripped variant isn't great either. It strongly resembles the mangrove log, and is a lot darker than its real life counterpart.
Real-life poplar logs are actually quite similar to birch. However, since we already have birch in the game, I suggest making it more toned. On the unstripped version, the darker stripes should still be there, but they should be thinner and much less prominent, with a grayish tint, slightly darker than the planks. The stripped version should just be a recolor of its birch variant, with a clearly defined direction and a bit more noise. This should make them way more useful and actually compatible with the rest of the set.
