I have an old, but very well maintained Orteguil underpinner. It was used when I bought it and I found that it took Lion, Logan and Framer's Corner (Charnwood) wedges.
Up until recently I have been able to source the 7mm Hardwood vnails that I use from various online suppliers, but since Charnwood have discontinued their packs of 4000 wedges, I am now at a bit of a loss where I can source compatible ones from.
I have attached a photo to show the brands that are compatible, in the hopes someone on here may be able to advise me of a probable replacement.
I just managed to buy up the last pack of Framer's Corner 7MMH from Poolewood, but need a solution before running out again.
Thanks.

Wessex always used to be the main UK supplier for Gielle underpinners and I presume that the still are. A\s your chart of compateable wedges includes Gielli, it might be worth checking out whether Wessex still supply Gielli wedges. Hopefully they still do.
