ELM ?????
« on: May 18, 2009, 09:38:21 pm »
OK i hate to sound stupid but was wondering if i could get some opinions i cut me a sapling today and i think it is elm but not 100% sure the leaves look like elm but the bark is slightly deferent from the big elms behind my house that i know are elms i think it is a little different because it is a sapling here are a few picks was wanting more opinions to make sure i am right

       ALL OPINIONS GREATLY APRECIATED

Yeah, that looks like elm. There are quite a few different species, but most all are probably good bow wood.
