  4. Hewing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hewing

    Hewing is the last step in this whole process, which is also collectively referred to as hewing. Hewing is done on the logs sides with a broadaxe. Hewing occurs from the bottom of the stem upwards towards what was the top of the standing tree, reducing the tendency of the broken fibers to migrate inwards towards the eventual beam. [8]

    The swing yarder has several drums to pull in the cables. The cables run up an angled boom and then to the far side of a setting. By using two cables set up like a clothes line, the rigging can be pulled out and logs can be pulled across a logging setting where the trees have been previously felled.

Block and tackle is then affixed to the tree and cabling ...

  8. Trefoil knot - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trefoil_knot

    It is not possible to deform a left-handed trefoil continuously into a right-handed trefoil, or vice versa. (That is, the two trefoils are not ambient isotopic .) Though chiral, the trefoil knot is also invertible, meaning that there is no distinction between a counterclockwise -oriented and a clockwise-oriented trefoil.

  9. Tree structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_structure

    A tree structure, tree diagram, or tree model is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form. It is named a "tree structure" because the classic representation resembles a tree , although the chart is generally upside down compared to a biological tree, with the "stem" at the top and the "leaves" at the bottom.
