    Yep sure looks like it. Once it hits the ground all the little stuff will break up and you will have easy cutting.

    Gary, I'll bring the splitting maul with me, I'll find out real quick.

    CCG, plenty of that GIBIR wood around, mother nature makes sure of that.

    Well zap, if it isn't dead, it is half naked and that should count for something. :thumbs:

    Even if it's dead, it's Elm! Lotsa splitting time to get it done. :mad: Still, nice wood and burns hot.

    Definitely shedding it's bark like it's Elm. Either way it's a bunch of btu's. I have an Elm that I will be getting here in a week or two and it's gonna be a bear to get to.
