Here is a couple of elm tree logs that my church gave me. They fell the tree because they had to and asked if I wanted to come down and see if I wanted the trunk end. They are not the largest of logs but since they offered I thought I would give it a shot. I got some nice wood out of them, have never milled or worked with elm before but it has some nice patterns to it.
First log all ready
After the first cut
More toward the middle
Just some shots
Only pic I have of the second log, it had a good sweep (curve) in it, but still can get some good smaller boards out if it once plank is cut up.
All done until fall when it gets cooler.
