Morning Maraudings: At 7am I finally felled the sycamore which fell within a degree of the design. You can see at the top a slightly highlighted section with a blue horizontal line and a grey vertical. like a cross. The grey is the main rope and the blue is the tensioner.

The remaining branches have been removed,and bottom part of the trunk has been cut to make way for a wheelbarrow. The top of the trunk has been cut to log sizes.
