Elm Wood: Characteristics and Applications
For lovers of decoration and shine
The wood it produces is resistant and has a good elastic consistency. An important note: due to the "graphiosis" the elm has had very serious problems for the continuation of the species. This disease has in fact killed elms in various regions of Europe and America. Even the English elm, a very important and widespread figure in the frame of the landscape of Great Britain, has been almost exterminated by this lethal disease.
Fortunately, many other types of elms have resisted the disease. Elm wood is used above all for the construction of furniture such as wardrobes, sideboards, bedside tables and kitchens or for the creation of fine parquet thanks to the splendid grain of this essence, very beautiful are the antique elm wood parquet that highlight the particularity of wood.
The American Elm
The plant therefore presents itself with an imposing structure and a certain elegance, and is used at an ornamental level both as an isolated specimen and accompanied by other trees with the aim of treeing avenues in large gardens, but also in parks or in spacious estates. Her hair, wide and elegant, is one of the hallmarks of her beauty. Due to the fact that it is not too dense, the plant grows much better in those places where there is a good brightness but also a suitable shelter from the sun.

The European Elm: the plant
The sapwood and heartwood are well differentiated, the first is narrow and light yellowish-gray in color, the second is reddish brown, sometimes dark; exposed to air it tends to darken considerably. The wood is very decorative and has a reputation for being one of the best European woods for furniture and furnishings. It is a medium heavy and hard wood, very resistant to pressure but less to traction, sufficiently elastic.
Main uses and processing of elm wood: Its processing in general does not present any difficulty, the finishing of its surfaces is done perfectly. All joints with glue, screws and nails hold well, can be turned, sheared and peeled. Wood can have multiple uses throughout the furniture and furnishings sector. It is sought after for the production of furniture, chairs, interior furnishings, for floors, for railway constructions and for sports items.
