do wooden wedges not work?

 

 

i had to get some 4x2" off of larger beams a few months ago and cut some wedged out of a really tough hard timber that i thought would last forever and a day and a couple from an offcut i had lying around. 

 

5" nails (and lots of them) held this 2x4" on and the hard tough timber decided to break but the softer one barely deformed even when whacking it with a 14lb sledge hammer.

 

it's called movingui in case any one is interested.

I have a small mahogany wedge for dismantling on my harness it's brilliant and cost me nothing bar a bit of throw line ? had it for years now, but mainly only used to keep cut open when chogging.
