Hollow centre of trunk where cambium fuses on stems but inside hollow

Have you ever tried to fuse the trunks of trees, and if not why not? It is great fun to try out different species and so far I have had good success with Ficus as they seem very adapt at fusing trunks particularly Ficus benjamina.

There are some other trunk fusion enthusiasts and here are a few links to some of the most recent posts I have found whilst browing on the subject:
