matthew cremona: sawing an elm log for crotch figure & 10/4 slabs

Jan 24, 2026
This time we're picking up and sawing an elm log. The tree was removed because it was growing right up next to the house. We saw the main trunk of the tree into 10/4 slabs and we look at maximizing crotch figure from the upper parts of the stem.
