Elm Boards, Milled and Air-Dried

Elm has interlocking grain that resists splitting, which is why wagon-wheel hubs were made of it. Mill and dry it as the oak boards: mill the log, seal the ends the same day, sticker the boards in the shade and let a moisture meter say when they are dry. Elm distorts easily, so weight the stack well. The picture: our diagram of the stickered stack.
Ophakathi
1 day milling, then months to years drying

Imiyalelo

1

The milling and drying method

Milling, end-sealing, stickering and reading the moisture, as for oak.
2

Mill the boards

Mill the elm log into boards a few millimetres over 50 mm thick, thick enough for a wheel hub.

Sticker, cover and wait

Stack level, 30 cm off the ground, with stickers every 30 cm one above the other, in a shaded airy place. Cover the top and weight the stack heavily: elm distorts easily.

Read the moisture

Read a board from the middle each season. When it reaches 12–15 %, bring the boards indoors to settle before joinery.
