Darrell asks about wedge angles:

====
I decided to use a 10 degree wedge for the tusk tenons.
that seems to be small enough to stick and large enough
to unstick without having to hammer the heck out of it.

Degrees work pretty well in math class, but for woodworking I have found that
"rise and run" ratios are easier to use. For Krenov-style plane wedges I was
taught to use a ratio of 1:10, which works well for me. YMMV.

Here are some ratios that cover a reasonable range for wedges and their
equivalents in degrees:

1:4 is about 14 degrees
1:5 is about 11.3 degrees
1:6 is about 9.5 degrees
1.7 is about 8.1 degrees
1:8 is about 7.1 degrees
1:9 is about 6.3 degrees
1:10 is about 5.7 degrees
1:11 is about 5.2 degrees
1:12 is about 4.4 degrees

I find that ratios are easier to mark out and reproduce consistently. YMMV.
