Re: Dead Elms
Classic crash and burn...looks like nice firewood.
Seems like u use a shallow scarf ( face cut) 1/4 diameter hence the big backcuts? Is that standard over their or some other reason?

Re: Dead Elms
looks like you were at the underside of the tree when felling the middle stem out, never seen that before. i always like to be at the topside, much safer imo. looked proper dead. hard as hell usually but yet still chewy.
