The American elm with Gary Mead

Every Third Wednesday of the Month we speak with Gary Mead of Gary Mead Gallery in Margaretville NY. Gary has a long career of milling trees in these Catskill Mountains and working with wood to create unique pieces of furniture and art.

This week we will be discussing the American elm tree. Many of America's elm trees have been killed off by the Dutch elm disease, but there are a few that persist in the Catskills as great, big trees. Gary will discuss his experiences with this tree--mostly its beautiful woody attributes.
