We have a couple of very large Elms which have just died of the disease, are not rotten and still standing. Around 30 inches in diameter.
I would quite like to convert them into flooring with the Lucas Mill. I have been successful with Ash and Beech flooring. Do I need to treat Elm differently? Do I plank it immediately
after felling or wait a while, does it need strapping down more tightly in the sticks, is quarter sawing more important. etc etc,
Any advice would be welcome.
