I came upon this down cedar while snowmobiling last Sun. As you can see with me standing, yes standing in front of it, it'd big, and when you think about it, that's only half of it. Since the trunk is laying on the ground on the other side.

they make a great base for a hunting stand. I have been sitting on the same upturned root for the past 20 years. if they are cedar they last a long time. I have spotted many moose and deer and bear from atop of that root . here is a pic from the top of my root .

It's on public land. Getting permission to cut dead wood is not normally a problem. Although it might be a landmark or an attraction to the fisherman that visit that lake. It's at a remote road less area, but not a designated wilderness.
I like the idea to use sections for railings. Where the roots cross each other , they are like bonded together. I'm sure I won't be able to get back up there , as spring has sprung here, and the snow is getting too wet to sled on.

I know a loft that is going to need a railing. Should be ready this summer depending on how my builder progresses.

I'm sure your builder will have a need for a loft railing by July, and he won't want to spend a couple of weeks trying to whittle a root structure into a railing, as cool as that might be.
