Log Slices Lacebark Elm Wood Pieces with Bark, 1"-2" diameter

from $24.95
These beautiful limb slices and log slices came from a Lacebark Elm aka Chinese Elm ( Ulmus parvifolia), from the burbs north west of Detroit Michigan, that is approximately 75-85 years old

The lacebark Elm is beloved for it's beauty, and can even be compared to black walnut, though it's price point makes it better than black walnut log slices. These wood slices have no chemicals added, just natural wood/log/limb slices. Because these are a natural product, they will vary in appearance, shape and color, they may also not be round. Cracks may occur, and bark may at some point, fall off.

My current inventory consists of Elm limbs and logs from 1" to 6" diameter, 1/2". 5/8" and 1" thickness Furthermore, your purchases help fund a feral cat community, of 20 ish. I love to help all animals, and if you do too, please share this listing !

This listing is for 1"-2" diameter 5/8" thick and varying quantities (select below)


These log slices have endless possibilities, they can make great wedding party gifts, wedding seating tags, candle holders, you can construct mosaics tables, wall décor, picture frames, mirrors etc. add epoxy, and open up a whole new list of cool things to do with these.




Elms, hickory, and ash all have remarkably hard, tough wood, making them popular for tool handles, bows, and baseball bats. Chinese elm is considered the hardest of the elms. Chinese elm is said to be the best of all woods for chisel handles and similar uses due to its superior hardness, toughness, and resistance to splitting. Chinese elm lumber is used most for furniture, cabinets, veneer, hardwood flooring, and specialty uses such as longbow construction and tool handles. Most commercially milled lumber goes directly to manufacturers rather than to retail lumber outlets .

Chinese elm heartwood ranges in tone from reddish-brown to light tan, while the sapwood approaches off-white. The grain is often handsome and dramatic. Unlike other elms, the freshly cut Chinese elm has a peppery or spicy aroma. While it turns easily and will take a nice polish off the lathe without any finish, and it holds detail well, the fibrous wood is usually considered too tough for carving or hand tools. Chinese elm contains silica which is hard on planer knives and chainsaws, but it sands fairly easily. Like other woods with interlocking grain, planes should be kept extra sharp to prevent tearing at the grain margins. It steam-bends easily and holds screws well, but pilot holes and countersinking are needed. It tends to be a "lively" wood, tending to warp and distort while drying. This water-resistant wood easily takes most finishes and stains



If you're in search of a larger quantity, message me

This current batch was cut the week of April 1, 2023 and while they are still in the drying process, there are some applications you could use them just as they are. If you'd like to accelerate drying time, you can put them in a low temp oven, or just set them in the sunshine.
I will have more listed in the days and weeks to come, along with more species of wood and straight branches.


NOTE: If you happened to have read the review, stating these are Oak, that is incorrect. Later they changed their review to say it was another type of elm. There’s always some at the top of their class, and some at the bottom, this particular “master arborist” was evidently at the bottom of his class. I do not have access to any Oak, sorry. Know that what you’ll be receiving, is as pictured here.
