    Description

    *This listing is for ipe staffs intended for solo use only. If you would like the partner A grade wood please see my other listings for ipe wood staff availability.
    *The staffs in this listing are beautiful excellent heavy wood, however there may be some where the grain is not ideally straight or some other minor defect such as a tiny pin-knot. These can be made to any size and would be EXCELLENT for strength training, kata, or home use due to the weight of the wood which do not involve contact. So as such I have discounted the price on each of these, and would recommend these for any and all non contact purposes. Such as hiking, kata, or solo training, or tournaments. If you would like the premium ideal grain staffs please check out my other listing for the A grade staffs. Often these staffs are more beautiful then straight  grain as patterns on the wood emerge. These staffs have no other major imperfections  and are perfectly straight as all my other staffs.
    I have reduced the price by 10 dollars from 92 to 82$
    This is a handmade solid Ipe Jo Staff. Ipe is an exotic heavy wood. The Jo Staff is a traditional Okinawan training tool used in Kobudo style martial arts. This particular staff is 54 inches in length. Its diameter is 1 inch through out its length.
    Ipe is twice as hard and heavy as common American Hickory. It has an amazing dark brown color. It is one of the hardest woods in the world. It has been hand picked and has an amazing smooth sturdy feel. This jo staff has no wobble upon performing techniques. It is a beautiful heavy dark brown color.
    It is sanded down to a shine and finished with several coats of Linseed and Beeswax oil, which gives it a permanent shine and protective layer while allowing the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the staff, which is required for proper technique.
    Thanks!

    *If you would like a custom order handmade staff of a certain size or material please contact me on ebay and I will make a custom listing for you. I may also have other staffs available not listed so please check with me and I will be happy to list them for you.
    *Please note that as of the handmade nature of the products and my location of manufacture which is in the middle of the country, I can only make it to the post office on average once a week, so the item's handling time has been set to 3-5 business days. Thank you for your business!
