: I think this also shows the relative weakness of wood and epoxy to tension
: loads. For example redwood has a shear strength of 1,110 psi and a tensile
: strength of 250 psi. I'm not sure, but I believe epoxy is also relatively
: weaker in tension than in shear. This is not true of all glues, for
: example I think CA glues (superglue etc.) are stronger in tension than in
: shear.

Maybe it would make sense to use CA glues under the hook, with a surrounding fillet of epoxy? This is sort of a theoretical question...if I do things over again, I'll use the solution Ted and John have implemented (and as a rough water backup to magnets)
