Elm planks

Elm timber → Elm planks

Picture to come.

Boards of elm, a strong timber with interlocking grain that resists splitting and lasts well when kept constantly wet. Elm is listed alongside oak in medieval royal building accounts. Its resistance to splitting made it harder to rive than oak, and in the twelfth century most boards were shaped with axe and adze rather than sawn.

Caveats (confidence: medium)

The detailed 12th-century uses of elm boards were not verified; royal building accounts citing elm are 13th century.
