I do custom knives and swords and have made/sold quite a few bokken

I found that you can buy oak and ironwood dowels(spelling??) at your local building supply shop

Hi,

I have made a Bokken, but it is not really that good. I used an old broom stick and sanded it down, cut it and stained it. I also put a wooden(do not know the specific name)ring guard at the end to make it look like a real wooden sword. It does not look that bad though.

Actually if anyone has some information on strong,pliable,yet cheap woods email me at demonologist70@yahoo.com

I dont even know what kind of wood mine's made of i use'd this 7 foot long 2 foot wide 3 inch thick board that was beside my stair's i dont know how it got there im gonna asume it was alien's lol it took me forever to cut it down and shape it i had to cut it with a hand saw not fun its a good arm work out though i just finished makeing a tsuba (the hand guard thing) for my bokken.

Lycao I am kinda sorry for all the ridicule you obtained in my thread.I would like to say I am interested in this city. I really would love to at least visit some place like this. There is no way I intended for you to be ridiculed like that. Although you did come across as a sorry mother ****er. No offense intended. I have to say though the whole thing about "reactions that make this so funny" it really PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!! With that in mind I end this post.

Were I you I would take a look at hickory or ash.
Both are strong, readily available, and commonly worked.
They should have an "impact grade" that's good for bokken.

Course yo always have your oak.

Thank you very much. I will take a look.
