Hickory Tanbo Pair/Escrima sticks 24" 1" Exotic Wood Martial Arts/Karate

Description

These listing is for 2 100% handmade Hickory Tanbo Sticks. The Ni Tanbo are also known as Kali Sticks, Escrima Sticks or short sticks and are used as a training weapon in the self defense arts. This is an upgrade from common Rattan sticks. The length on these sticks is 24" which is the standard length. Each has a diameter of 1" inch.  These sticks are either in solid hardwood or laminated depending on strength and availability of wood. There is no functional difference in strength or durability with either of these two varieties.
The materials consist of solid Hickory which is the hardest available North American wood. This wood is cherished for its impact qualities.
Hickory can come in lighter tan sapwood colors, light brown or darker brown heartwood, or sometimes a mixture of both dark and light on the same stick called 'calico hickory'. These variations are aesthetic only and do not affect the integrity of the wood at all.
*I have chosen a variety of pictures showing different color variations in hickory tanbo pairs. Hickory can come in several shades of white to light brown and these colors can even be mixed in one piece of wood. The pair you order will be unique to that particular pair. I always match pairs however based on their weight and density*
It is finished with several coats of Linseed and Beeswax oil, which adds beauty protection and allows the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the stick, which is required for proper technique.
Thanks!
