I scored some elm from a buddy for firewood, but decided to slab it up on my bandsaw, just for kicks. [Here's a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTm9fh53j2g).

Looks great! I love working with Elm. Nice score.

Only time, is my understanding. Air drying is actually better if anything, since the wood is less likely to warp and check because it dries more slowly. Regardless, air drying is absolutely fine.

Thanks for posting this OP.

I have saved 5 of 8-16 ft Elm logs to get milled up at some point. This was encouraging to see. 

Are there limitations on what can be done with air dried slabs/boards compared to kiln dried wood?
