In Response To: Material: Red Elm----ULmus rubra (John Monfoe)
John,
One suggestion is to go to the Wood Handbook, Chapter 4, and compare the properties of Red Elm to the properties of something you have worked with. Make some very general observations - if Elm is 20% heavier than Bass, your strips will need to be 20% thinner to keep the same weight - that sort of thing.
