    It was a considerable bone of contention. He was inexplicably dogmatic about it.

    He was big on that, but it seems easy and sensible. No, but it’s easier to follow the conversation if others can see what you’re referencing. None of it is a declaration, just an observation. @cory responded to one of my posts today, I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t see it. If that...

    Wedging over a dutchman, cutting a hinge too thin for the load, a twisted fiber path in the trunk (the worse it gets with the high of the stump shot or gap), old internalized limb, are other good ways to loose a tree.
