I'm still working on the build/buy decision on the part of the timbers. I could buy a woodlot, rent a portable sawmill... and maybe actually get the trebuchet with a few $$s from the woodlot.
Or I could just go to Lowes and have it next week. And be out the cash and opportunity cost.
I'm torn. It's a certain cognitive humdinger.

Northern exposure had a couple of interesting trebuchet moments.
