How Do I Paint Tulipwood?

Most commonly, tulipwood is the greenish yellowish wood yielded from the tulip tree, found on the Eastern side of North America and also in some parts of China.

The wood is very light, but very strong and is used in many applications, including furniture, joinery and skirtings. It can also be stained very easily and is often used as a low-cost alternative to walnut and cherry in furniture and doors.
