Elm

Elm, Common or English (& Scottish)

Tough, closed texture, twisted in the grain, conferring resistance to splitting. Marked distortion may occur during seasoning. Clusters of pip-knots in this reddish brown, attractively figured wood enhance it’s appearance.

Uses: Milder logs may be used for furniture or joinery. Used for coffin boards & as pallet wood.

Elm, Wych Type

Lighter in colour and rather harder than Dutch/English Elm but easily worked, clean and straight in grain, tough and flexible.

Uses: Boat building, panelling and joinery.
