Stripped Poplar Logs are too smooth

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.

    Stripped variants of wood blocks are supposed to be smooth by itself, i think it looks good as itself right now however i agree on making the poplar wood variant more birch-like keeping the darkness as it is, it would bring a more unique look to future builds
