    Carrie, Just a little background. Many years ago I had a beautiful
    elm stump that was about 2 feet across and 4 feet high.  I smoothed
    and rounded the edges, attached all sorts of leather belts to hold
    tools etc.  Loved it until one day I noticed some strange bugs flying
    around my basement.  Later I saw some sawdust on the floor.  I did
    some research and found many elm trees are infested with a particular
    larve that turns into a flying insect that just loves to bore into
    wood.  I sprayed all around my basement and my beloved elm log had to
    go. Just a thought. 

    Cheers from Don at The Charles Belle Studio in SOFL where simple
    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT attbi.com
