There are about 40 different types of elm. It is a good solid wood, dense and water resistant.

Elm wood was valued for its interlocking grain, and consequent resistance to splitting, with significant uses in wheels, chair seats and coffins.

The density of the wood varies due to differences between species, but averages around 560kg per cubic meter.

The wood is also resistant to decay when permanently wet, and hollowed trunks were widely used as water pipes during the medieval period in Europe.
