Re: Trebuchet (Joining Lumber)
Almost immediately after I posted this question, my brother and I had the same idea for running a 2x4 the entire length and thickening the weighted end and axle.
The entire thing is southern yellow pine, primarily because its what they have at Home Depot and our budget is "it had better be on sale."
I went back into the SketchUp model and redid the arm, so here is a screen shot with a couple of dimensions for scale.

I joined FIRST and stuck with it. It was nice enough to return the favor.
