11. Elm
Price per board feet: $10
We are continuing our list of most expensive wood for furniture in the world with Elm that has been popular in the United States a long time ago. Elm wood was primarily used in making ropes and canoes. To this day, it is also hailed as one of the most popular wood types for flooring and furniture. Easily pliable and very durable, not so fun fact: it is also used in making coffins. Yay.
