Do you have a copy of "A Reverence for Wood" by Eric Sloane ? If not I'll post some of its pages. . .
Great picture. Is that a temporary rig ? How is it fastened ?

Are you refering to the 1000 year snow fall emergency overload spring? It is fixed in placeand adjustable. The 2x4 between the triangle shaped roof holder- uppers is temporary.
No, I do not have a copy of that. Thanks for the que on it. I would love to see it. Wood is addicting.
Great topic.
Derek

There's no way of knowing for sure, just good guessing. You could assume that something needs to start off gracefully to age gracefully. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I hope I make something pretty and stout.

Good gracious. Yes, I'd say so. . .!
What wood(s) do we see here ?

Mixed Elm and Douglas Fir. Elm trees will never grow like that again. The forest thier from is gone. It's tough for a forest to age gracefully with people around.
