More Elm

[Daninvan]

Picked up a couple elm logs today. One was about 7 feet long, the other more like 3 or so. The bark on them was quite different, but the wood looked very similar, and they were also unusual in my experience for elm that they were odourless.

After about four hours of milling and associated distractions, we wound up with 11 nice slabs.

Tomorrow is going to be spent organizing the wood pile, and then hopefully I'll get one more day milling this week.
