Wooden wedges are a great way to split wood in the absence of an axe. It is also a very safe way to split wood, one slip with a sharp axe can be painful.
The wedges need to be made from a tough wood so you can hit them hard, enabling you to split open a piece of wood. I found a fallen Black thorn, this is a very hard and tough wood so I cut myself a some straight bits and set to making myself some wedges.
