I did not have any large wedges in my bin so I used a walnut and maple wedge and fit them to size. Has anyone (on the forum) ever done this before? If so, how did it work out? Any problems? Any complaints?
If you never have bug have an opinion please tell me what you think. I have stopped in the past and taken the time to make another wedge. But I have always thought a two tone wedge would “look cool” if you will. Then I thought if I used two different woods would the hardness/density difference in the two woods cause problems? Or if one wedge was a little bit wider would it cause the head to set funny on the haft?? This time I just went for it.
I will say though, the time it took me to make sure the wedges were (using tight tolerances) the same size (length, width, angle, of the entire wedge), I could have made 3 large wedges! But it was a fun time! I will update this once I get a chance to take this thing out and test it!
Thank you for your comments and thoughts!!!
