I’ve seen discussion on splitting wedges but no dedicated thread on felling and bucking wedges. Does anyone get into vintage wedges? These are some of my favorites!
The little 1lb bolt pattern wedge is a Hubbard and the other small one is an Occident from Seattle Hardware.
The two grey ones in front are magnesium not aluminum. They were only produced during a relatively short period between 1935-55. They are super light for their size. They seem even lighter than aluminum.the larger of these two is almost 10” long and barely over a pound.
The massive Titan 10lb wedge is 13” x 7”, and the 7lb Skookum is 10” x 7”.
(Funny that last picture makes the 8lb Acme look longer than the 21” one, but it is not, it is 4” shorter and diminutive in stature compared to the 13.5lb wedge.)
I’d like to learn more about these. The timeline that they went from steel, to magnesium, to aluminum, and finally plastic. I’d also like to discover what brand used the circle with an “I” in it?
