G'day duffseed and welcome to the show!!

Interesting request but I am sure you will get the answers you need.

What are "bokkens"???

[duffseed]

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,
