I like the picture too . In a way it looks like a little over kill , but I wasn't there . Just some quick questions , and again I liked that picture , I just never felt the need to double rope a log . That is cool , and alot of work . One , could you have cut the log bigger ? all that trouble and two lines , Looks to me it would be fine . Two , where the marls cross on the two ties , do you get damage on your lines from the weight on the ropes pressing on the other ? Just asking Reg , I but tie alot of logs , so my question is this , Was the log getting locked up , and if it wasn't was there the same amount of wraps on each device ? If they did run , would both lines split the load ? Thanks . You can answer these in Baltimore if you like . I'll be there . Again , nice photo .

Thanks Glen, I like the pic too, although, its not a fave because the job meant nothing to me. Beech is heavy anyway, but an old tree like that, solid, is really heavy. So, my lines, slings and other hardware, not cheap so I want them to last. Plus, when something does fail, its my fault, period.
Had we lost that last log it wouldn't exactly have been a disaster, but still costly and embarrassing for me, cause its my fault.
I butt tie lots of stuff too, always have. Would a single line have taken that log, more than likely, but how many times? who knows.
They ran the logs pretty well, even though there wasn't a huge amount of space, view from the ground at the end of the vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjqJs7YYnMo
while you're at it, at 2:50 you can see how the lines are kept equal, to answer your last question.
The lines crossing dont do any damage that I'm aware.... where's a marl on a single line might have.
I dont do the double-tie often, cause it is work after-all, but sometimes you get the feeling.
