minus-squareReclamationCrafts@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoI don’t think it’s elm. It is on the hard and brittle side of things. I measured density somewhere around 700kg/m^3. It is pretty open grained. The brown spots are streaks that go through the wood.

minus-squareReclamationCrafts@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoYes of course. I think the wood is a bit more red/pink than it shows in these photos.
