Wedge  (1) Another name for V-nails used in underpinners to join two mitered frame lengths into a 90 degree corner. this video shows how it works: click here

These wedges are made from a special steel alloy which gives shape memory properties to the wedge. This way, when it penetrates into the moulding, it spreads its wings which -because of shape memory- try then to come back to their initial position.
This results in pulling very strongly the 2 pieces of mouldings towards each other, so as to give a perfectly closed corner.

(2)Thin pieces of wood that are inserted into the corner of two mitered frame lengths to join them together.
