The wych elm (Ulmus glabra) is found all over Europe and even at elevations of 4,000 feet above sea level. The tree reaches a height of 100 to 130 feet with trunks as much as 10 feet across. The elm is suffering from so-called Dutch elm disease, caused by a fungus (Ophiostoma ulmi) transmitted by the elm bark beetle.The wood of the elm is tough, moderately hard, very shock- and pressure-resistant, and easy to work. The precious wood is processed into veneers, furniture, rifle stocks, hardwood flooring, and wainscoting. It was also once used to make longbows and wagon wheels, spokes and frames.

Finely grained wood may contain imperfections such as open knots, bark inclusions, or cracks that are typical of the species. These flaws come from the way the tree has grown and are completely natural. They can usually be filled with low-viscosity cyanoacrylate (super glue) and wood dust.
