Massive Timber Ties

[most-muscular]

I found some really massive timber ties at the local hardware store. They look just like the regular ones, but they are huge. They came in two sizes: 8" and 10". The thickness was about like 1/4" square stock.

Check out the pic I just posted in my gallery, comparing them to a regular one. (I must admit, I had to bend them over my leg to get them started.)

Has anyone else bent these before?

I think those Timber Ties are definitely on the juice or growth hormone. I can't say I have ever seen those monsters in the local hardware store.

Thanks for posting a picture of those Timber Ties they must be made for Paul Bunyan.

Those timber ties ( if they are like ones I've found) are very easy but very fun and a great warmup for bending big spikes.

Careful talking about the juice, Gator, or the thread might get locked!

Sorry, couldn't resist tossing that one out!

Yes, those are available in 8,10,&12" versions. And, as previously stated, are a pretty easy "spike" bend. Those are a good one to work with and then start with 12" spikes or 24" pieces of 7/16" or 1/2" HRS/CRS. Good luck man. BTW, an 8" version would be one hell of an unbraced bend, I think. I have never really tried one cause my hands would be so wide I would be afraid of tearing a pec. And I know I can't do one Slim style.
