I have one I made from a dogwood root ball. Pretty darned tough.

I made mine from a chunk of dogwood, turned on the lathe.

[Jim Hoti]

we always use dogwood with froes, and also made wooden wedges out of dogwood when we were making split rail fence. Start with Iron wedges, then use the wooden ones down the crack.

[Bill White]

Yep! Dogwood wedges here too.

I am using a hunk of locust I turned on my lathe. Before that, I used hard maple.
