Elm

Elm is valued for its expressive grain and distinctive character. The timber often displays strong figure, irregular patterns and areas of swirling grain, particularly in boards cut close to the centre of the tree. These natural variations give elm a sense of movement and individuality that makes each board visually unique.

Historically, elm was widely used for furniture, interior joinery and practical items that benefited from its strength and resilience. Today it remains a popular choice for table tops, shelving, feature pieces and one-off projects where the natural character of the timber can be appreciated.
