This live edge elm desk is 54” x 28-32“ with hydraulic legs that adjust for standing or sitting. Elm is also known as “ulmus americana” is typically found in the eastern and Midwest U.S. but is found in other areas of the country as they have been imported. The tree can grow up to 100 feet in height with a trunk up to three feet. The heartwood is a gold to red brown with lighter and darker streaks in the grain. The sapwood is typically a paler version of the heartwood. This elm was urban logged from a residence in Phoenix, AZ.

Copper is the inlay. It is typically found in multiple states in the U.S. including Utah, Arizona, Montana, Michigan, and New Mexico. Copper is very malleable and has a beautiful reddish-brown color that accents the elm.

The finish contains six coats of hand-rubbed Tung oil; sanded after each coat. Tung oil brings out the unique characteristics of the wood. Wood does expand and contract making it subject to slight checking, cracking and movement. To maintain the beauty of the Elm avoid using cleaning solutions instead use water in a damp rag. Remove the excess moisture with a clean towel. For polishing a beeswax solution such as Howard Feed-N-Wax or Artisan Lemon Oil Wax is good. Just follow the directions from the manufacturer.
