Each elm top goes through a specialist wire-brushing machine that lifts the softer fibres out of the grain, leaving fine grooves you can feel. The wax settles deeper into those grooves, so the tight, straight elm grain reads in two tones.
Modern Planed
Planed smooth with the fine fibres left in the grain, so the wax is taken up evenly. The result is a calm, consistent colour that lets the dense elm figure and small pin knots read cleanly.
Reclaimed Elm (Free Upgrade)
Our recommended timber. A dense hardwood with decades of history in every board — fine, tight, straight grain with small dark pin knots. The considered choice, at the same price as pine as a free upgrade. Cut in small batches — popular sizes go fast, so check availability below.
Rustic Pine
FSC certified kiln-dried Scandinavian redwood. Rustic Weathered carries the sweep of arced Swedish saw marks across the face; Modern Planed removes them. Warm honey tone, round dark knots.
