WoodyWorks about this type of wood:

Elm is a fairly difficult type of wood to work with. Elm is beautiful wood because of the pattern it has, but it often has knots and cracks. So take this into account! Cracks can be solved by connecting it at the (bottom) with, for example, a dovetail. Knots can be filled with kneadable wood.

Finish: Planed on 4 sides.

Dried: KD (8-10%)

Delivery: In stock 1-3 working days, otherwise 7-10 working days.

Information about this type of wood:

Ring-porous wood type. Growth rings noticeable due to the large earlywood vessels, which gives the wood an attractive flame pattern but makes the grain coarse. Elm wood is solid, tough, fairly light and usually evenly structured. Canadian Elm or Rock Elm is heavier, harder, stronger and tougher than European Elm. Japanese Elm is similar to European Elm, but is more evenly coloured and has more gloss. It is finer structured, somewhat softer and also easier to work. American Elm is occasionally offered on the market. The heartwood of European Elm is light brown to dull dark brown, sometimes with a greenish gloss. The sapwood is yellowish white. The heartwood of Soft Elm is light grey-brown to pinkish brown, the wide sapwood grey-white to light brown. The heartwood of Red Elm is reddish brown to dark brown coloured with narrow grey-white to light brown sapwood. Due to Elm Disease (caused by a fungus that kills the tree after a few years), the European Elm stock has declined drastically. As a result, Elm wood is now in short supply.
