Wooden gluts

Good one Steve!

-- Mike, an American living in Norway.

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.

That’s a good idea thanks for sharing.

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.

That is a great idea. I will have to keep that one in mind

-- Norman - I never never make a mistake, I just change the design.

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?
