Elm Gallery

Even with the devastation of Dutch elm disease, there are still some tall, graceful, 100+ year-old elm trees on the streets of Denver, Colorado due to the turn-of-the-century “City Beautiful” program. It is always an honor to work with wood from these majestic trees when they have to come down. The coarse, open grain typical of elm growth rings is prone to tear out when turned on the lathe, but can deliver bold, striking patterns of light and dark.
