But you tested wood that had not been weighted or had the hardware applied. I still believe the weight of the hardware will negate the variations in the density in the wood as at that point it is less than negligible. The applied weight from the hardware will dominate/dictate the action of the plug as the center of gravity will be where the most weight is applied.....thats my opinion and I am sticking to it. I did discuss this very point with an engineer and it was also his opinion.
You say tomato and I say tom-ah-toe.
Keep on pluggin' kids!
