How To Make And Use A Dogwood Wedge

Carving a wedge from Dogwood is not only simple but also yields a remarkably resilient tool. I’ve chamfered the top to prevent the wood from bradding, and brought the 2” long taper down to a 1/16" thickness.
To split wood, saw a 1/4" deep kerf into the endgrain, snugly fit the wedge into it, and then power through it with a sturdy baton. Yep, today's demonstration is being performed with the same wood, a Dogwood baton beating a Dogwood wedge through 3 pieces of Dogwood.

He’ll be finished in two or three years disposing of that dogwood unless someone invents a battery powered reciprocating saw, steel wedges and a burn barrel. But that is just science fiction at this point. A realist would stick to the plan that he already has and is proven to work.

[@chrisdreyer1406]

Back when I was 9 or 10 my Poppy said that I was old enough to have a sling shot. We went for a trek in the woods looking for dogwood trees. Poppy said that the best sling shots were made of dogwood. It took some time but we finally found the branch with the perfect “Y” and he carefully cut off the branch with his hatchet. We took the branch back to his workshop where he created the slingshot. It appeared to me that you destroyed several potential slingshots in making your wedges.

[@douglaspefferd.c.2988]

I still have my cherry wood slingshot I made over 50 some years ago it also use a cherry wood or plum suckers and we'd skin them and soak them and wrap them around a tree to make hoops for dream catchers carve bows out of Indian plum or maple ax handles and other

I was watching a video of some people in Eastern Europe using a large wooden mallet to pound stakes in for a hay rack. It looked like they were drying hay on these lines, similar to clothes hanging out to dry. It's amazing what we humans can do with very little resources when pressed!

Solar flares/eruptions can propel enormous, planet-engulfing clouds of plasma called coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth, as well as anywhere else in the solar system. Direct hits on our world by CMEs can and do occur, and each event packs more than enough oomph to discernibly disrupt some modern electronics. Even so, such disruptions are usually subtle and have little to no impact on most peoples’ daily lives.

[@dirkscheidemann3127]

In Germany we call this plant "Hartriegel" where hart means hard and riegel in this contecxt means "latch lock". People used to lock doors with dogwood latch locks because it is so sturdy. Nice work, @David. Thank you.

We have had similar problems with our vehicle side mirrors. One case involved a blue Jay, and another involved a very aggressive cardinal. When we covered the mirrors as you did, the cardinal began attacking his reflection in every window of our residence. Virtually every window and glass sliding door now has an ample supply of cardinal spit, and small boots of cardinal chest down.

those pull tooth pruning saws work beautifully and extremely quickly if you are sawing from a low position, Ive been using them for years and can't fault them....except when you try and use them in a natural push saw situation then they take ages because theyre cutting on the rake stroke not the cut stroke .
