Thanks Steve, actually more on that subject. I used my usual steel wedges, but this time I also tried out some pink plastic wedges that my dad got me when he was out in Montana. I was very surprised to see how well they actually worked. I started all my splits with my axe on the ends, but then I used the pink plastic wedges the rest of the way on a few pieces I was quartering. You can see a couple of them laying on the ground in one of the pictures. Has anyone else used these before?
