    What size mallet for felling wedges

    Sure ya could, Gary :lol: . That is an experienced wedge that knows what the job is all about! I guess I am just a boring ol' cutter...I have no stories of makeshift wedge drivers...I don't forget my axe and I don't break my handle and I keep the head tight by working in the PNWet and paying...

    What size mallet for felling wedges

    Absolutely Al, plastics for everyday use, though currently hardhead plastics are my favorite. Mag alloy wedges come out for really tough wedging jobs.

    What size mallet for felling wedges

    Good point, OM. Little wimp that I am, swinging a maul would not be my choice even if I could park beside every tree. My right rotator cuff is in bad enough shape as it is. And besides, there's tradition to be respected, ya know? :)

    What size mallet for felling wedges

    Ha Justin, I thought that outfit looked a little too shiney and new :P . For whatever reason, I have the ability to accurately hit what I'm swinging at with axe, maul, hammer, sledge, or whatever. Nothing I can take credit for, just the way it is for me. Handles last me a good long time ;) .

    What size mallet for felling wedges

    Here ya go, a well used and loved tool...been packing this one about for 20+ years. That's a five pound head...not a little hatchet by any means. I have driven over some really big boys with substantial back lean with it. The trick is alternating hits on 2 or 3 wedges.

    What size mallet for felling wedges

    I could not agree more, Justin. All those other tools are just wannabe efforts :D . Be professional ;) .
