Following the grain on elm

<< < (2/3) > >>

bassman211:
A chain saw will make short order  for splitting elm, and some staves do have crazy grain.

BowEd:
Yes I've scored elm with a skill saw before with success.I don't think I've seen what Ryan described though.Maybe a picture would tell more.

PatM:
It looks like water flowing in a rocky stream.

RyanY:
The staves were fairly straight with mild character. Not enough crown to follow. It's as PatM describes. It almost looks like to streams of water meeting. I tried to get pictures but they didn't turn out the best. You can kind of make out the intersecting grain cutting diagonally across the stave.

bownarra:
That looks a lot like the elm we get here. i think you are good :)
