Went out in the rain to cut that red elm. Got a nice bunch of wood and the bark peeled off like the peel coming off a ripe banana. Took a piece back to the house to see if it split like the first piece and one smack with the maul took it in half. These last two trees I took made me realize the condition of the tree your felling has alot to do with everything. bearded asil hen 050.jpg

great score. Get her split and stacked so she gets to drying!
 
Great stuff. Not much Red Elm around here now,rare to see a live healthy one much over 10-12" diameter.Smells good (to me anyway) when sawing or splitting,somewhat like licorice or cinnamon.

picked up about a cord of red elm on a scrounge today. within 400 yds of the house. May try to hand split it for fun. Hate to have to bring the splitter to town. Suprised at how light it was. Been dead standing for few years.
 
I have a couple more Reds to go get. I should have about 3/4 cord total when I get that stuff stacked.
 
Got another .4267089 of a cord of the Red today. Split a little - not bad yet, but haven't whacked on any of the 30+" rounds.

You've got 30" rounds?!! I wish Red Elm would live that long around here. I don't think Dutch Elm Disease is as pervasive in TX as it is here...
