I recall, Ta-houne, or something along that line. Balancing a load between multiple angles is fun to figure in practical applications. The proof is when the load floats away.
Wow the story keeps getting better. But Willie delivered the straight skinny on it.
What wood do you guys down under use for your boards, Angus? Burnam said it right for us west coasters. Vertical grain old growth Doug Fir. And they do have a good bounce that you can trust. Sawn...
Those are great pics, Angus. Very much different style though than I have ever seen here, but the bit, the most important part, is the same. I'll try to take a few pics of some of the boards that my friends still, hopefully, have.
Spring boards are not used much in the second growth timber today. When a board is needed most fallers simply use a limb or sapling, and leave it in the tree they felled and go on to the next. less to carry around. The old spring boards are collectors items today. to be sure.
