Hello. My next project will be a bushcraft comb made out of seasoned wood, but I'm having trouble finding a suitable piece, even out of the pile I have in storage. I'm looking to split a thin slither of wood, preferably ash or any durable hardwood, but I can't seem to really visualise what I need. Perhaps I'm over thinking it. I need a straight grained block of wood and I need to split it, just as you see Jon do in his tutorial. Have a look at my image of the wood I have. Do you think any of these are suitable? Most of the pieces I've examined are fairly wavy or have some type of indentation or curve to them. If you can see any ash there, feel free to point it out, or elm or yew.
