1 x 1.5 x 7.25 Red Elm – Strong, Resilient Hardwood with Beautiful Ribboned Grain Red Elm (Ulmus rubra), also known as Slippery Elm, is a durable North American hardwood prized for its distinctive grain, warm coloring, and exceptional toughness. Its medium-to-dark brown hues are highlighted by interlocking grain that creates natural ribbon-like patterns, giving each piece striking visual depth and character. Known for its remarkable shock resistance and dependable stability, Red Elm is a favorite among turners and woodworkers who want a hardwood that looks beautiful, works well, and holds up under daily use. It turns smoothly, sands cleanly, and finishes to a warm satin sheen that enhances the natural movement in the grain.
