Ipe Jo Staff 1" 48" Solid Hardwood Martial arts/karate (Small pinknot discount)

Description

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 48 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.
This staff has a very tiny pin-knot. It is barely able to be felt and does not affect this staffs strength in any way. Otherwise perfect.  Never the less i have reduced the price slightly due to the feature. It is shown in the final picture.
Thanks!
