A few years back when i still shot wood, Troy Breeding (when he still lived in Alabama), made me up a bunch of "heavy" poplar shafts.  They were pretty durable...i think my finished weight with a 125 grain snuffer was around 700 grains.  i've since made the switch to carbon. i also use gold tips so Daniel i guess that makes them sort of popUlar!  lol!   :)

I use magnolia which was described to me as yellow poplar. Not as heavy as rastman describes, but very tough and durable.
The shafts I've been using are 23/64 barrell tapered to 11/32 and 5/16.

Cane and Magnolia tend to make good arrow.
