Richard,

There's a fellow here in Maine, Peter Baldwin, who makes outstanding 
wooden apple ladders.  He has the whole range of sizes in tripod, 
open-topped, and pointed.  They all feature basswood sides and ash 
rungs.  I personally have a 7 foot tripod which is very sturdy, a ten 
foot pointed and a sixteen foot pointed which get me just about 
anywhere in any tree.  If you want to talk to a laid-back guy who 
really knows apple ladders give him a call.
