This series of staves are made with 2 layers of impact grade hickory laminated together to 1-1/8" (28.5mm) diameter..

Use the 1-1/8" blunt for a tight fit.
This series of staves are made with 2 layers of impact grade hickory laminated together to form a strong, straight and defect free staff. This is the best wood possible for martial arts use. The hickory is strong, yet it is flexible to not be brittle when struck against other equipment. We hand oil at least 2 coats of a boiled linseed/mineral spirits mixture.

The hickory is nice as well. Has a certain whip to it that is

Great bo!
I was looking specifically for an octagonal bo staff. That is what my sensei used when I was much, much younger.

Because of what I purchased from here, I have a really good looking and great quality bo that is going to serve me very
