    I know y'all can figure this wood out. I dropped em, bucked em, and hauled em this morning, there was two of the same coming up from a single trunk at the base. I'm 57 yrs. old, I could do a couple more than this in a day but hey, who's in a hurry right?

    I'd rather let that rot into the ground than touch it. One and done on the elm for me.

    Nice stacks.:stacke:

    Nothing wrong with Elm, if you have the time it splits a lot better if the rounds are left for a few months.
