A pair of wooden gluts made from Australian Blackwood. I describe in a bit more detail on how it was made in my blog -- If you can't joint it, bead it! | |||||||

These are awesome tools. I have to make one from time to time for the big splitting chores around here…what a difference.
Nice hatchet work.

Hand splitting Cedar and Redwood is one of my favorite kinds of wood work. Your gluts look so much better than the ones I make on site.

I wonder if there’s such a thing as “American Blackwood”, because the Aussies seem to have all the good wood!

Stumpy,
Black locust (Robinia pseudocacia) wood (would?) be the American equivalent. Hard, strong, but much more durable, bends as well as ash, and is much cheeper. I wish it was easier to find commercialy as it is perect for outdoor stuff and pretty wood. Who are you going up against next? Britboxmaker?
