Thanks... I worked hard on it... countless hours... A large part of the credit should go to Spidy... he kept kicking the door until somebody openned it... I just got lucky to be that person... I got the magazine yesterday... I think TCi did a good job of lay out...
Cover pic turned out pretty cool too! I've been meaning to start a thread on that takedown... I got a lot of pics... They were supposed to give big jon the cover photo credit.. I didn't see it though.
Its very exciting for me and all the people whom helped put it together... A friend of mine put all the graphics on the pic and doctoered Dent's and Beranek's diagrams... ETC.. Big Jon, Tom Dunlap and others all gave feedback and I made changes accordingly, before I even submitted it....
And of course ten there is Guy ..... he gaved me the push over the edge.... Every month I and others would trash the mags content... he said "OK stop complaining and start writing"....
I guess like everything else, writing gets faster with experience.... I think I have over 40 hours in that article... The only reason I had the time to write it is cause I was on vacation in the Bahamas fro a week.
And I had a lot of practice writing about this stuff right here... So the final thanks is due to AS... never would have happenned without this forum...

Good article Daniel. I only had a few minutes to scan over it at the shop, but it looks first rate.
Did you need to get permission to use the pictures and stuff from the other authors?
The cover shot is cool. I wanted to ask what was going on with the notch on the cover. Did you plunge cut and break through the hinge from behind or what?

Nice article Daniel, good info. It was nice to see someone also recognize that different types of wood species have different holding and hinging patterns and should be dealt with differently. Have read to many articles on notching and such in that only speak of a tree as 'wood' and not address the different wood characteristics. Nice Job.

Prior to submitting the article, Stumper pointed out to me by email that each type of wood has different properties for tension and compression, and that all good hinging wood is strong in tension.... Now that is valuable information. And coming from a wooden bowmaker means a lot... Who needs to understand properties of wood more than a bow maker?
So that's another person to thank for his contribution.
MM,
I plunged to center bore the hinge at big Jon's suggestion. This tree had a significant back lean, so he thought it would be easier to pull it over with less wood in the hinge... I'll have to post the pic of how it landed....
And yes Dent, Jerry B. and Tim Ard all gave their permission... All were most gracious and obliging... So thanks to them.

Having just read it I concur it is an excellent article, expectantly waiting for your next one Daniel
Thanx Daniel, need to see a copy mys-elf. i like how ya try to give credit to all, even if publishers don't go along.
Also, how you are trying to use this to springboard yourself on forward and not let it's velocity be wasted. Even with the usual amount of constraining items, and all others would have tossed at you to slow ya down, doubt and stumble, ya still are cooly stepping forward firmly as if unencumbered!
Congrats

If others make significant and substantial contributions, it is not unusual for them to be mentioned as second or third authors. If there is a next time, consider supporting your supporters.
The layout and graphics and flow of the article was very good; shows great organizational skill and communication with the editors. The other article on felling in the back of the mag is a sharp contrast.
Felling is not my favorite subject, but I like what you said about wounds on upper sides of branches. That's a huge non-no if it can be avoided, and you were right to say so.
More and more people from the field are being heard, in mags and at conferences. Many opportunities for those ready to step up and speak out. 'Every month I and others would trash the mags content... he said "OK stop complaining and start writing"....'
Aug TCI may have an article on managing slime flux in oaks. Aug AN may have one on selective heading cuts.
Look em over and please freely comment, here or elsewhere. As Daniel may have experienced, criticism pushes production of new ideas more than praise. So Mr. Author Murph, what's next?

I wish my TC would get here, sounds like I'm missing out on some good stuff.
Even though I haven't read the article I'll give Murph an early pat on the back for a job well done. By the time my copy gets here this thread will be old and sinking down into the archives. I was almost two weeks behind when Tom D's article came out.

Person-ally i wuz trying to applaud Murph's accreditating all here, in group and singles as spirit to have and be main-tained 'hear.
We communicate more oftener than some, and have spoken about the crediting others in general and specifically in this article, previous to the editors; and the possible outcomes from that process before it ensued. Daniel has been more considerate in that fashion than either of us have related.
Or, something like that;

credit where credit is due
YA spidy,
As I recall you gave the credit for figuring out the significance of the tapered hinge to Dent. You spoke a few times about pouring over those pages until something clicked... So we are disciples in Mr. Dent's lineage.
It appears we are all standing on the shoulders of giants...
Tom D. kinda downplayed his contribution on the buzzz, but the fact that he didn't have any corrections to content was huge.
That meant a lot to me as I respect his knowledge as a resource.

As is the lesson of the corral, and hope-fully we will leave the pile a lil'taller in the tide of our wake too. And solved our share of the paradigm shifts of the evolution of thought for what we do and see of these puzzles we squint at to see more clearly.
