Default tower

I plan to use some of the trees at my QTH as a tower. I have to parallell
trees that is apx 50'. At the top they will be abt 15'' thick. They are
spaced 20'' which makes it easy to build a ladder so that I can climb up. I
plan to build a metal plate and install a rotor on the top of the parallell
trees, so that I can turn my 15' boom lengt 3 el 20m yagi beam. This tower
would be very cost effective.

Of course I am aware of the potential problems regarding maintenance etc,
but does anyone have experience with this kind of tower? Will it be stable,
what abt guying etc. Comments is welcome before I settle this project.
