Very nice character slabs right there. There is certainly no shortage of dead elm kicking around.

Im not quite sure i dont think i ever measured it? I think im gonna make 7 inch boards out of it.. It was fair sized log. But what i did is slabbed out one side (im using a mini-mill) and turned my saw around and cut out the pitch.. Then made squares out of them.. But there both about 7" boards. Im gonna resaw them on my bandsaw then! but Id say theres a good 50 bd feet of lumber!
