The timber hitch is a knot used to attach a single length of rope to a cylindrical object. Secure while tension is maintained, it is easily untied even after heavy loading. The timber hitch is an old knot. It is first known to have been mentioned in a nautical source c. 1625 and illustrated in 1762.〔 ==Usage== As the name suggests, this knot is often used by lumbermen and arborists for attaching ropes to tree trunks, branches, and logs.〔〔Ashley (1944), p. 77〕 For stability when towing or lowering long items, the addition of a half-hitch in front of the timber hitch creates a timber hitch and a half hitch, or known as a killick hitch〔 when at sea. A killick is "a small anchor or weight for mooring a boat, sometimes consisting of a stone secured by pieces of wood". This can also prevent the timber hitch from rolling.〔 This knot is also known as the Bowyer's Knot, as it is used to attach the lower end of the bowstring to the bottom limb on an English longbow. The hitch is also one of the methods used to connect ukulele and classical guitar strings to the bridge of the instruments. File:Zimmermannsknoten.jpg|Timber hitch on a tree trunk.
