If "H" is a tension "doubler", not otherwise part of the beam "Second
Moment of Area", then just fillets at the ends would do?
Maybe small fillets along sides, out to edges of the "C" (channel)
sections?
----------------------
As a separate element H is only a little stronger than the lower channel
flange, because it has slightly more area and is further from the neutral
axis, but as part of V it more than doubles the second moment. I think shear
causes the difference.

I couldn't accurately measure these channels until a few days ago when I
sawed off the end plates (they were pallet rack shelves) and removed the
rust.

The hoist, rope sling and pulley make manual log handling easy. I like it
better than the hydraulic log turner on a $40,000 WoodMizer. A cant hook /
Peavey turns large rough logs without getting too close, and a pipe clamp is
a good handle to turn a partly squared log without damage.
