Poplar wood

NO, you do not want to use poplar wood for a countertop, it should not be used anywhere where there is moisture. Poplar wood turns black when it gets wet, and it rots very quickly. I would like to know where you get poplar that is as soft as pine, yes it's soft, but not as soft as pine. Not as soft as the pine I use anyway, but it could be softer then other types of pine. All I use for pine stock, is white pine and it is soft. Poplar isn't a good type of wood to try to apply a finish to, it has a tendency to be blotchey when finished.
