You can also take a page from how earlier cultures split stone. Insert
extremely dry wood, tight fit in hole, pour in water and let the
expanding wood split the stone.

Trow and Holden has the 3/4" feathers and wedges at $5 a set. Lee
Valley's is more than three times as much. T&W also has the long sets

You are correct, and you are correct, and your question is valid. 3x
is a significant mark-up for a company generally known for being
reasonably priced.

Its all a question of supply and demand. LV may have them but how many
could they possible sell in a year?
The faster moving stuff seems to be priced properly.
