Elms... good bad? And favorite designs for it..
« on: April 28, 2020, 10:06:05 pm »
Hiya back again... a huge elm fell in my freinds yard and i heard it was farily good.. this is either chinese elm or siberean elm not 100 percent freind said it was Chinese though. Split and skinned and sealed the ends... while i was splitting it i noticed it seems really brittle and like bad bow wood  (lol). Anyway whats all your fav designs and such. Also noticed it has ton of heartwood...pretty cool looking (-S
Thanks.

It wouldn't be Chinese Elm with those traits.
