Goog work. However I'd do the airlayer a bit higher - basically where the first branch grows. You'd get nicer taper...

Thanks for your oppinion, but in this case I want a big tree!

There are more tree under the soil with no so bad taper




And already I have others smallers elms with fat turnks too.
