If made thin enough < .100, any hardwood will work.

And I think most guys use a spacer instead of a wedge. Your not going to get the same bending action you would out of say...plastic.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Wood at about 2.5-2.8 mm (.100ish) will be quite flexible and you can use a wedge. I don't like to go any thicker than that for hardwoods. Remember to balance out the razor also. It usually isn't a problem unless it is a thick, heavy near wedge, but you can always work around that by different wedge material or lengthen the scales some.
