Hi Pete

What about Japanese Zelkova (Zelkove serrata), very much like and
related to Elm, it's a introduced tree in North America and used in
Japan for furniture and timber, I don't know if any available in England
though.
Japanese Maple is another one, they are rather small usually as is
Japanese Yew, there are other species around, some are also native to
North Eastern Asia

Have fun and take care

Friends, have been searching the net for information regarding native
Japanese trees and timber.

It is not out of idle curiosity, I have a commissioner who has
requested something made from any native Japanese tree, but I am unable
to track down any specifics.

Anyone any ideas?
