Hardwood:

Hope all goes well for you. I know you are into woodworking. I found out yesterday that allot of the wood stored in my barn in 1 1/2"-2" x 10-12" x 12,16-20' is Elm.

Is the elm good for anything other than firewood and planking for ramps and maybe barn floors?

None of it is clear and many of the pieces have cracks part way through them.

Good to hear that things are going to schedule for you. Sometimes it is hard to figure out the problems. I'm sure the ankle is giving you problems but sometimes the remedy is worse than the ailment.

I often suffer from gout when I indulge in too much caffein from Pepsi and especially Dr. Pepper. I also have a passion for tripe (pickle cow stomach-old German delicacy) and excessive vinegar does me in. Too many adult beverages also kick it up. Another problem is arthritis. It usually triggers the worst between winter and spring months when it is damp out. Arizona is a possible cure for that. I also had a spur once that gave me lots of pain for months until one day it disappeared, all on its own. The human body sure is a mistery!

Getting back to the elm. I once took one of the thinner 5/4 pieces and used it for a step on the front porch and found it to warp real bad from weather (heat and rain). Most of it has very little grain and is very light in color except when you get close to the tree's core, where it darkens dramatically. Reminds me of the varied colors in Hickory.

I think it has some good strength properties and is considerably lighter in weight than oak and ash. I've got about 3 dozen or more boards that aren't in the greatest shape and think turning them into firewood is a waste.

Good Luck and keep us posted.
