How To Make And Use A Dogwood Wedge

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

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.

Hey thank You so much I learned a lot! When You're feeling better ( get magnesium to oxygenate the blood ), can You show the wedge splitting oak? Just curious! Thank You!

I didn't know wood could be split using a wood wedge and I also didn't know dogwood is a hard wood! Thank You!

[@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.

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! Keep up the creative/elegant solutions that may one day help us if/when the sun bursts our electricity bubble 😅

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.

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.

[@ecospider5]

I just saw the concept of wood splitting wedges this year. Great idea. I wish I would have thought about that when chopping some 2 foot rounds a decade ago. I got multiple axes stuck because I didn’t have a splitting wedge or maul.

[@DavidWestBgood2ppl]

I get my knife stuck while batoning sometimes. Even my hatchet. I'm glad to have it.

[@ecospider5]

That makes me think it’s a good idea to make a wedge Before I get my knife stuck. :)

[@starlingblack814]

Thanks David for the tutorial. I do use a wooden wedge if my knife gets stuck in a log while batoning. Sometimes if I have a real knotty and twisted log will start with a knife then finish with the wedge.

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.

[@craftingontheporchwithbill]

My wife bought a pair of inexpensive black socks at Dollar Tree, split about three inches from the open end and slides one over each external mirror when she parks. Eliminated the "fighting my reflection" from the mirrors, keeping them clean.

I can guarantee you that your car pooper is a cardinal. I'd never kill one for that, because they're one of my favorite birds, but they're notorious for it. I had the same problem once. I didn't know about the bag trick, but quickly figured it out. I used a dollar tree polyester bag with draw strings, which made it quicker and a bit easier to remove and install them. I wonder, since it's so durable, how dogwood would do for tool handles?

If your Corona gets too dull, you can sharpen it using Dremel cutoff wheels. There are two types. Use the fiberglass reinforced type. The other type is brittle, and you have to be careful when using side pressure. Those Corona blades are induction hardened, mine are anyway, and files won't get it done. I've cut Locust wedges to "try" to get trees to fall in the right direction and they probably would have lasted longer if I'd tempered'em in a fire first, but they did OK. 👍🍺
