Got the bark peeled off a winged elm tree a coworker cut down and said I could have. Looked good, some small knots, nothing major. When I got the bark off, there is a pretty good grain swirl near the base, should be interesting. While waiting for the shellac to dry, decided to try using the inner bark for cordage, turned out kinda nice. The "log" is about 3" diameter at the small end, 68" long, debating one bow or two.
