Wood anchoring device
A wood anchoring device having a connecting ring defining a closed connecting aperture and at least two ties, at least two of the at least two ties having respective fastening holes at anchoring ends thereof. The device may be fastened to the thin side of a 2×N piece of lumber through the fastening holes, wherein the at least two of the at least two ties are on the same side of the connecting ring relative to the axis of a test tensile load applied to the connecting ring in a direction perpendicular to the elongate axis of the piece of lumber. At least one of the ties has a length that is substantially different from a corresponding length of at least one other tie, the different lengths providing for responding to tensile loading by stretching differentially and thereby assisting in equalizing the forces applied to the fastening holes.
