The a nut on one and the end to pull would have an amon nut. If interested I could make some drawings. Sincerely, John A. Keslick, Jr. Arborist I'm surprised at this, John. Even one of the Trade Advertising Journals just ran an article explaining that scribing around washers has been discredited, as it tends to lead to extensive decay. Simply pulling the washer against the bark does the job better; the comressed bark makes something like a cork washer to buffer the hardware and reduce the long-term decay in the heartwood.
