A woodpile connector has a tubular body defined by an open-end lower
portion and an open-end upper portion. The upper portion and the lower
portion are fixedly connected, at their free ends, to a separating plate,
which is secured between an inner surface and an outer surface of the
tubular body. The open ends of the connector body have beveled edges to
facilitate compression of the wood being forced into the connector body.
By aligning the connector portions in relation to the pile sections,
while forcing the connector portions into the ends of the adjoining pile
sections, alignment of the pile sections is achieved even when the pile
sections do not have evenly cut connecting surfaces.
