I got some American Elm two days ago from an arboreteum. The tree was cut down four days ago. Dark reddish brown streaked heartwood and light, slightly yellowish colored sapwood. Looks really nice, but smells really really bad.
I'm donating the wood to my turning club, but I don't know much about tunring it. Down here in South Florida this is a rare exotic wood.
Any thoughts, tips or experiences with turning / finishing elm?
