Is Elm an open grain wood much like red Oak, but, with long areas of dark grain?-SDH

That's Elm for sure and a nice example. Elm was used for about three years during the war (1915-1918), and in terms of rarity is second only to Maple, with Walnut and Beech more common. I have a couple of examples that I bought just for the stock wood.
Thanks for sharing.

Looks like Elm to me.
