Had a great time last night trying out Scuffy's new and improved Plywood Antichrist!!
Three Steves, AlexC and me. It is now 26 feet tall with a new 8 foot flared section on top.
Here are some photos:

Kudos to scuffy for building a truely strange device. A man of many talents!
It is a bit ominous towering over you when you start.
I have strange pains this morning. I'm not quite sure I'm getting better at this strange game, but I do have more scabs and scars.

Yep Scuffy, you were right. Yours is bigger and stiffer than a photo makes it look! It took Gary nine shots to get the Redwood Antichrist in here completely...what a monument to torture.
You read a lot of the Marquis De Sade growing up, didn't you?

The texture is an epoxy paint with sand.
2/6 is coarse: play box sand
2/6 is fairly fine: "medium" sand
2/6 is slick or mostly slick (it started that way)
The texture is proving to be durable. The coarsely textured
components are a year old, and could still use some grinding
or something.
It's bolted to the tree.
EDIT: there is, in fact, a lot of plain wood showing right now.
the latest changes were not finished pending evaluation of their
function. It will look better.
