poplar is soft and easily dented

The density of Poplar is virtually identical to Alder.
The label “hardwood” does not mean the wood is hard… it is a classification of type of lumber, for instance, Balsa, is a Hardwood.
The Pine used 50 years ago was a different animal than the lumber we have today, back then it was a naturally grown tree, today they are genetically modified and other agricultural technology is incorporated to speed growth. A faster growing tree is naturally softer than one growing naturally.
Oh…. Yep… I kinda like pine……
