Elm

[trigger_andy]

Nice bit of Elm I went to look at today. In a field 15 minutes from me. Should be striking a deal with the Farmer tomorrow. Looking forward to Milling it up. About 38" Wide and 94" Long, not massive but really clean and no rot or shake, some nice figuring and maybe a little burr will show up? Should be back to it next week. 

 

That Flashlight is 8.25" long. I know this as I used my boaby as a guide. 2 boaby lengths.

Lots of burring by the looks of it.  Might even make up for the barbed wire inclusions!

Was not on the periphery of the field, maybe 10-15m in. Hopefully not to much inclusions. ? I've a few near worn chains, I'll use them

Yeh, I guess it was for felling it? The guy that dropped was planning on mulling it himself, he just does not have the time.

Had to pay the Farmer £150 for the log, but it is over 1500kg and I guess £100 a ton is not that bad? He'll even move it to a better position in the field for me to Mill.

Look's a nice bit of timber.

I've just opened up an email that came in last night, someone has dropped a couple of elms on their land, wanting to know if I'm interested in buying them, if I can find someone to drive me out there I'll get a look at them next week.
