If you go to a professional lumber yard you can get larger beams, how about just 2 6x6 stacked in line with the cable? Guy wire to rear from top and brace in front with a small launch platform. Instead of wrapping the cable, drill a hole and terminate the cable on the uphill side. How are you going to avoid hitting the tree at the bottom?

My chosen system has a spring break. What is stronger I wonder: 4 to 6 ea of 2x12s thin side facing the termination point with the line wrapped around them like in the video another guy posted here, or two 6x6s in line with the line through them. Hmm
