Mad Max:
Thanks guy's :)

Winged elm it is
sealed the ends with glue
Looks like sapwood and heart wood, is it good out to the bark?
1st log--12" on the small end 15"on the other



2nd log we cut it for a few billets.


Pat B:
Sapwood is all I ever used, right under the bark.

Mad Max:
Thanks pat :D

Pappy:
Like Pat Sap wood is all I ever use, good looking log, that should make a fine bow. :) don't work it down to close until it has time to dry a bit or clamp it to something as it dries, it will tend to twist and warp if to close to bow size if you don't clamp it to a board or form.  ;)

Mad Max:
 :OK
