Arrowheads always catch my attention.   Take those and glue other projects.  Make cabinent handles maybe.   I tried to get a customer to have an arrowhead on my 3rd hat.  But he decided no.

Great looking work.

Very nice! Great idea with the arrow head! The Elm is a pretty wood.  I have never used that wood before.

I had to take down a large elm in my front yard. The gentleman who cut down the tree has a band saw lumber mill. He slabbed the tree up for me, 1/2" slabs, and I air dried them in my yard. I ended up with 135, 1/2", slabs and 25 2" slabs. The largest slabs are 18 to 20" wide and 100 " long. The sawyer was not able to cut the largest section of the tree as it would not fit in the saw bed (too big).

Excellent cutting, RJ

Nice work.  My preference in this case is the black, only because I have never seen a green or blue wolf before.  Be interest to see which one sell the quickest, if you sell your art.  Thank goodness we do not all see things the same,,, how boring would that be!?

Wow!  That was one big tree.  I am curious, did you wax the ends while you let them air dry and how long did you let them air dry before you started working with them. Marie

Wonderfully done projects. I am not surprised you sold  one so  quickly

I painted the ends with odds and ends paint from the local Ace Hardware. This was before it was slabbed. I let the 1/2" panels dry for about 8 months, then stored them inside my shop. I'm in Southeast Idaho and it is fairly arid here, the gentleman with the lumber mill came by and did a moisture check and gave the thumbs up for storage.
