Elm wood is one of the very strong and durable trees, being heavy and tough, with high resistance to abrasion and walking. Due to these properties, it is used in many areas. In particular, it is used to make furniture, wooden flooring, plywood, garden tools and toys. Elm wood is also popular for bow making as it is flexible and resistant to breakage. Historically, it was also used in shipbuilding. In addition, elm wood is often used in the construction industry, for example in reinforcing structures or making doors and windows.
