What makes elm distinctive
Elm's defining characteristic is its grain pattern. Rather than running in straight parallel lines like oak or ash, elm's grain interlocks — twisting and weaving in ways that resist splitting and create dramatic visual character. The colour ranges from pale honey through warm brown with subtle reddish undertones. Historically, elm was the timber of choice for Windsor chair seats and pieces where structural integrity under stress mattered — the interlocking grain handles loads that would crack straight-grained timbers.
