My wet wood blade came in last week, but I didn't get a chance to use it until yesterday -- it worked great cutting up some Birch and Russian Olive wood that I have been saving for the lathe. I ordered it at a woodworking show from PS Wood, who along with Suffolk Machinery are part of the Gschwind Group who make and distribute the Timber Wolf blades.

They just call it a wet wood blade, but the specs are as follows: width=3/8", TPI=3, thickness=.032. The teeth look to be the same milled shape as the standard Timber Wolf low tension blade which is .025 thick. I believe they can make it in other widths as well. At the show they recommended lubricating the blade with Pam cooking oil spray on a rag -- that really helps cut down on blade friction.
