    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.
    *Each of the staffs in this listing are smooth beautiful excellent heavy wood, however there may be some places where the grain is not ideally straight or some other minor defect. 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 imperfections and are perfectly smooth and straight as all my other staffs.
    I have reduced the price by 10 dollars.
    This is a handmade solid Ipe Hanbo Staff. Ipe is very hard exotic heavy wood. The Hanbo Staff is a traditional Okinawan training tool used in Kobudo style martial arts. This staff is 36" which is the traditional length for a hanbo. Its diameter is 1 inch through out its length.
    Ipe is twice as hard as common American Hickory. It is one of the hardest woods in the world. It has an amazing smooth sturdy feel. It has a beautiful heavy dark brown color.
    It is sanded smooth 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!
