    Dumped a 20 inch diameter red elm yesterday. It always amazes me the amount of water that just spurts out of them when you stick a saw into them. In the time it took to notch it I'll bet 2 gallons of water had pizzed all over my saw and me.

    As wet as it was the rounds actually split pretty easily.
