    Standing dead I assume. A live elm that size would be a rare find I believe.

    You're right, Dennis. Elm and hydraulics are gooder. Elm and mauls, not so much.

    It's good stuff. As long as...
    Yep...
    Yes, stringy as all get out.

    I'll be burning elm for many years with all the stuff around here. There's a lot of smaller ones living and doing well, but yeah, I've got a few big elms that are all dead standing and will be in the stacks sooner rather than later.
