Reaction wood
« on: September 10, 2014, 04:00:01 pm »
The Doug Maple I cut was leaning so I'm going to have reaction wood. When I tie it down to stop it bending how robust does the tying have to be to control it? Will a few wraps of duct tape(quite a few) do it or do I have to clamp it with bolts or such?
Thanks
Don

I use clamps to get it tight and where I want it, then just use any rope I got lying around

cargo straps work great and you can usually find some for cheap

Do you tie it to a 2x4 or something bigger?
