I don’t think it’s elm. It is on the hard and brittle side of things. I measured density somewhere around 700kg/m^3. It is pretty open grained. The brown spots are streaks that go through the wood.

Could you sand/plane a portion so we can see a clean cut of the long grain?

Yes of course. I think the wood is a bit more red/pink than it shows in these photos.
