Nice lumber. I have a bit of it drying in the barn myself, some of which is nicely spalted. It's nice stuff to work with too.
...Kind of looks like some of the "Siberian elm" I've seen on Ebay...
One of the characteristics of Hackberry is that it splits easily (mine didnt).
Terry, do you see wavy bands in the end grain of your elm ?
the wavey lines are easiest to see on the face grain with an obliqe cut. they will appear as little 'w's and once you see them you will then be able to see them on full face grain. on end grain they show up as a pattern in the way the pores are arranged.
