Wood

Elm timber

Elm timber → Elm planks

Picture to come.

Wood of the elm, a large tree of hedgerows and lowland woods. Its interlocking grain resists splitting, which made it the favoured wood for wheel hubs, where spokes are driven in tightly, and for planks and coffin boards. It lasts well when kept permanently wet. Gerald of Wales, writing about 1188, noted that the bows of the Welsh of Gwent were made of elm.

Caveats (confidence: medium)

The hub preference is documented from traditional (post-medieval) wheelwrighting; medieval practice is assumed to be similar.
