Can you chase down any variety of hickory or elm perhaps? Im also not trying to talk you out of it, just offering better options to ponder.

I am smack dab in the center of Arkansas.

I'm pretty close, I work in Little Rock and live in Malvern.

I plan on going as close to the heartwood as I can with leaving some of the sap wood. Very cool Grady.  We'll have to get together and you teach me some things.
