bokkens are wood sords used to train with , thay can splinter and shards can kill the very best wood is hickory, but it has to be super good stuff like this grade 7....
i also reed spotted gum is also good, in the uk all i can get is 2m kiln dryed not real what i want
i want hand sorted air dryed or as good as i can get i will need to inport it from anywhare i can find to get it!!
again i am looking fore grade 7 hickory!!! a saw mill or lumber store that will ship to me!
i am told no graded hickory is inported as no one needs or wants it,:no:

Hi Duffseed, interesting hobby/sport you have there. Have you tried people/companies in the UK who make axe/pick handles etc? They should have some high grade timber. Good luck.
