The placement of the screw hole has been carefully chosen. I had picked a spot that had a little broken branch stub and drilled that right out, so that when the screw had been screwed home I could plug the hole with another little branch stub. That way, the grain surrounding the stub is of the right orientation and flowed round the stub, rather than the stub just sticking out of an otherwise smooth surface. Photos 22023 & 22024 show the fitted stub. It is wedged in there with all the force I could apply, even the rock-hard wood gave a little when I forced it in
