Elm grows slowly, with straight wood grain, clear pattern, good elasticity, moisture resistance and corrosion resistance. Air-dried density: 0.68g/cm3, wood hardness is moderate, easy to dry, not easy to deform and crack, so it is the first choice for making furniture.
Poplar trees grow very fast. Because of its loose fiber structure and relatively poor material, its application scope is greatly limited. At present, it is mainly used as solid wood composite floor core board, building template, bottom board, short-term industrial raw materials or roads.
So the price of elm is high.
