I have worked with winged elm a good bit, and have found that it is easier for me to saw a kerf with my skil saw and leave it to dry for a while. That saw line will open up a bit and give you a place to start your wedge. It is still no fun.

Thanks all for the input! I really liked Ron's idea with lag bolts but the hardware store closed by the time I got home. So I took the other part of his advice had the beer anyways and went to work. I tried the wedge in the side method and it seemed to go a bit easier but by no means a picnic. Staves have a bit of prop but I think I can work with them.
I'll give them some time to season and then I'm anxious to try an ELB with them. More to come!
