In the green wood splitting area , the splitting wedges are serious helpers for the carpenter and it would be nice to have some from metal and some wooden ones .

The wooden one it’s very easy to make them by your own and avoid spending money for these from flea markets or other places .

Remember most of the times we start with the metalic ones and then we proceed with our wooden wedges to completely split our wood .

All the helpful details for wedges ( + a video of how you can make a wooden one ) , in HERE .

So let me give some very nice metalic wedge suggestions .

A couple of them( a simple and a diamond ) and some wooden ones , will be just fine for your toolbox .

This Eastwing 5″ wedge is just fine for your first hits to your logs and create you the appropriate gap to proceed with your wooden ones .

It has a design that allows you to complete the splitting to the end , taking advantage of the side extensions it has .

It’s USA made , the metal alloy is the appropriate and it won’t have any theme if you hit it hard and brutal , even if you won’t have to . A couple of hits and the job will be done .

Nice balance , nice splitting . Get is from Amazon , here .

Combine the above , with this Felled diamond wedge and i don’t think you should spend more for wedges , even if there’re cheap tools .

It’s a 7″ long and 3″ width wedge , a 4 pounds weight and it has a heat treated steel for maximun penetration and strength .

Yes, ok the orange color will go after some hits , but i don’t think this is an issue .

Buy it from the Amazon here .

Keep woodworking and always be safe while doing it .
