Swap? Elm for walnut?

Just made my first gun stock from a tree I did a couple of years ago.

 

It was an Elm and seeing how beautiful the figure was in the crotch I thought I'd take the rootball out to see how it was.

It's been drying for two years now but don't think it would be stable enough to use for a stock yet. Keen to start another now and was wondering if anybody would be interested in swapping some stable walnut that includes some crotch feather for some big thick Elm root ball slabs.

Here are some pics of the center 2 of 4, taken when I slabbed it a few days after removal;
