In the spirit of the ancient masters, we believe the relationship between a
person and their weapon is forged through a unique personal experience.
To achive this outcome Wooden Steel hand
crafts your Custom Bokken using only the finest domestic and exotic
hardwoods from all over the world. Each of the woods offered has been tested by
us and comes with either a “For Contact” or “Not For
Contact” rating.
When you are selecting your wood we encourage you to visit our Woods of the
World map (coming soon) to see where your wood choice originates and our
Materials page to view pictures of the woods and
get more information on your choices. Also, if you are looking for a particular
wood that is not currently listed with our products feel free to contact us. We
can give you a custom quote on any wood you may want.
Once you have chosen the wood for your Bokken each sword is rough shaped
using a combination of hand and power tools. Your Bokken is then finished and
polished using planers and cabinet scrapers as opposed to sand paper, this
allows the grain of the wood to stand out not fill in with saw dust giving your
sword a spectacular finish. Each sword is then treated with a low gloss Tung Oil
finish to bring out the highlights of the wood.
Bokken offered include the standard three swords of the Samurai as well as
Tai Chi, Korean Broadsword (Can be used as Subrito) and we will be offering a
Curved Kung Fu Sword as well. Each sword is listed with standard sizing, if you
desire a more customized sizing simply put your requirements in the customer
comments section of your order and we will contact you to verify the
details.
