Time lapse won't be good enough, if you're hoping that you'll be in the running for the nobel prize for science/logging. Better put up some signs for the video too, "Institute for Wedge Research". Definitely drop Burnham's name when they come out to see the project.
It seems like an experiment best done indoors. Perhaps one of the big arboretums will allow you to try? Just set a drip on the wedge with video cameras in place, and crash out someplace else.
With regard to trees, I think that you have sponge and wood mixed up there, son. It might work if the tree was teetering to go over anyway, but how would you know that a little sparrow didn't land somewhere above? :)
I've made big wood wedges using my bandsaw, given them out as presents. Normally I use a hard elm, very resisting to splitting. Judging by the butt ends being rounded over in my friends' tool kits, they do get used.
