    Hi the botttom 15ft of the tree was hollow so it must have been standing dead or dying so would that have any bearing on how to leave it I was given a standing dead elm and we milled some of that on my mates miser stright away and the boards did not move at all so would this wallnut be similar what do you think Cheers Mark
