Wych Elm Porn
SimonUK:
Hi Dave
I bought it from 'Lothian Trees and Timber' near Edinburgh. I don't know who they got it from - some forrester in the Black Isle probably. I find a lot of these sawmills will sell you a small diameter log quite cheaply since they can't turn it into large planks. They often chop up these for firewood! Best thing is to phone around til you find someone who has some whole logs in stock and clamber about them looking for a bargain.
I once went to a timber merchant in Huntley which must be near you. Search google for 'DA Piercy Scottish Hardwood' and you'll find him. There is also the Association of Scottish Hardwood Sawmillers which lists a few around Inverness.

WHAT IS WYCH ELM Porn?
Pat B:
HT, An abundance of straight grained white wood shamefully sprawled on the ground. ;D
Simon, you should put black strips over the suggestive parts. ;D Pat

In my limited experience, wych elm has a more-orange brown heartwood, English elm has a more grey-brown heartwood. I have read that wych was rated higher than english elm by medieval bowyers.
Very nice score there!!!
