Step 10Notes & Cautions
The boken made here is for actual practice, so I chose the hardest wood I had. It is very satisfying to use weapons in practice that I have made myself.
Two colors of wood make the boken look unique. I have not found anywhere you can buy one like this.
Use only sharp bits, blades and chisels. Burn marks and gouges will show.
I suggest you make two and keep the best one. There is very little wood used in a boken, and it saves you a lot of pain if you make a mistake. Making two is almost the same effort as making one. If they both turn out, give one away.
Use safety equipment: eye protection, ear protection, guards, push-sticks, brain. Do not do anything you think may be hazardous – its not worth it.
Disclaimer: I assume no liability if you purse this project. No information here is intended to override the safety instructions for your equipment or your common sense.
