Elm?

I will be taking down an elm tree soon in an effort to keep the campers in our RV park safe.
It’s still living, but with our drought of the last few years it’s losing the good fight and dropping limbs and allowing insect invasion.

I’ve used a couple of chunks of it to make a mallet and some chisel handles, but am not sure it would be worth slabbing any up into boards.

Any ideas on how stable it is and the best thickness if I do cut slabs? The tree is pretty small, only about 26” at the butt and 20” across 8’ up.

No bugs in the main trunk yet, but I don’t want to let them get to it if I can help it.

Thanks all! Carry On.
