Look what I found today.........

[Dean]

Came across this little lot today next to a site I'm working on. It was blown over in the recent strong winds, I did ask the land owner before I grabbed it.
I think it's Elm and it is already very seasoned without any worm holes but has a very slight rot on some of the outside inch or so.
Am I right that it is Elm ?

Very nice - looks quite like elm still.
Guess it's not actually very tall,what height is it ?

It's about five inches high, it was made from one of the outer pieces which seems to be seasoned although there are some inner pieces which are still green.
