Most of the “modern” wedges at stores around here have 2-2 ½ in. blades. I use a very old splitting maul for a wedge and it has a 6in. blade that I keep very sharp. Even with large logs I can usually pop them apart wedging one side.
The last load I did I thought was Walnut. It had a dark center but it was light and faded. I know it was hardwood but it was real stringy inside. It would pop apart but had stringers holding it together which took more time and effort. I’ll put in a photo maybe someone will have an idea what kind it is. It was a tall straight 18in.tree with heavy bark that was going bad so I took it down.
If you look in the bottom right corner you will see the stringers.
