Default Re: Wirestop fasteners for cable

With regular steel cable you get about 2/3rds up in the tree and lets say for example you have a codominant stem with 2 leaders you drill 1 hole in each leader that are level with each other so the cable pulls straight and depending on your prefrence you can get long lag eyes for smaller wood or use j lags for larger wood.After that its a simple matter of splicing one end with a thimble to one of the anchors and then tightening up the other end and splicng it with a thimble to the other anchor.Simple but for the next tree I'm gonna try the cobra system as it looks like a real time saver.
