    I have a few smaller branches left over so will take a photo with bark on and see if someone here knows what it is.

    I normally just use a bit of metal that I cut off the axe head but recently found a 2 pack of metal wedges at Mitre10 Mega that are made for the purpose ($4.50 from memory)

    The timber has been drying slowly in the carport for the past 3 months. I have herd that you can shape them when they are wet and seal the ends to prevent splitting but have not tried it myself.
