John as I am sure you know the TBB ain't much help as they say to do the float test for SG. If above .50 go for it. Surely someone that knows
will post shortly but in the meantime you probably ought to send me a couple staves of each to test for ya ;D ::) O:).

Howdy,

I did a search and found that the SG of Elderberry is .50.  Go for it!

Enjoy,
Canoe

I was also wondering about differences among the elderberry. In western Oregon we have red and blue.  I cut some blue the other day.  So I will find out at some point down the road if blue is any good.
