Well, I would have some to trade, but my parents are reluctant to let me cut the 10 incher on our property, wish I could help.

I've some Red and White Elm, but not seasoned (cut last fall and winter) .I don't know if there is anything worth shipping cross country . I'll be getting more this summer. I could set aside a good stave if you  haven't got one by that time. I'll check my stock .

I looked through all of my staves Bryce and theyre all pretty questionable. Theres only one that I would consider tradeworthy. If no one else comes up with anything and you wanna see pics let me know.
