    The wedge took weeks to make.
    I made one from steel also and nearly gave up several times but "Extreme Wedgeing" is a hobby of mine

    I am always happy with that particular Rosewood , it is very dense and therefore doesn't expand and contract so much. Also the grain pattern is unbeatable in my books.

    Thanks again for your comments..

    Yes, definitely need a thread on "Extreme Wedging"!
    Great name!
    I've done some extreme wedging, though never completed my triple wedge, one wrong move and you gotta start over.
    And so when I messed up my second attempt, and then was distracted from a third attempt, I decided to take a break from that wedge... Someday I'll try again.
    Getting those two slices just right is a big challenge.
    Great job on that! Excellent work!
    I like that you kept a natural look with the wood finish.

    Please do share your work regarding this wedge process.
    "Extreme Wedging"! I like that.

    Here is an example of a double lined wedge (or simply lined wedge).
    This was when I finally brought together multiple techniques learned on this forum to create something I am proud of.
    One technique is finishing the final outside edge of the wedge (and scales), while it is together with the scales... So that it is perfectly flush.
    W&B Celebrated FBU, bog oak 3700yrs, brass and mammoth wedge.
    I really like double wedge pins, and maintain that it's not easy to get just right. Though there are those who don't like them! I'll mention no names.. Ahem! Hehehe

    OK. Extreme wedging, never to be confused with "Extreme Wedgying" "ouch".

    I will drip feed you a few tips haha.

    The most important part is the initial stages . Take 2 pieces of wood, lets say each piece measures : 2" x 2" x 1cm depth. (I hope that makes sense)
    Sandwich those two pieces with lets say a piece of brass as the meat in the sandwich. Glue them...

    Then taper both sides of the wood with the metal in the centre and make a wedge shape.

    Then simply add a piece of brass either side of the wedge.

    That is really the most important part. If I had my time again I would take photos and a 4K video .

    I will always try to out do myself so my brain is already devising the ultimate in Extreme Wedging..

    Cheers guys

    Joseph,

    Yes, that is nice work and a ”how to” would be interesting.

    Did you make a large wood wedge so both pieces would be identical or make them separately to match?

    What is the thickness of your sheet stock?

    Nice pinning.
