    Looks like some good wood. I like it when they stand dead long enough for all the bark to be off, less mess when you split and haul it in. Good score!!!

    Love them when they are barkless like that.

    Cutting pal calls em "bonewood" from appearances or "yuppiewood" because so well seasoned and so easy to keep stoves running with, when both high powered professional parents get home from work.

    You must be right, cause it pops right open (by hand), didn't know what kind of elm it was, but I love it. 65 feet of 20 inche diameter and bigger.

    tons of it dead around here from dutch elm disease. Every hedge row and field edge has several unless they have already been cleared out. Great to go find one or two when the snow starts piling up and bring it home on the sled. Dont have to go treking through the woods.
