Hey guys, I thought I would share my latest sidetrack. :cool:
I am calling these one handed tetsubo although I will likely do some 2 hand versions as well.
Right now I am mainly making them from Cumaru hardwood, which is extremely dense!
I am giving them a nice scalloped texture. All of these will vary slightly.

I building and taking orders for these now.
Standard is 20" oal. They weigh in at appx. 9.5 oz and balance half way up the length.
Right now I am doing black or cotton wraps. They are epoxy soaked for great durability.
Pricing will be $140 shipped in the US.









 
Need to do a couple of these with a handful of nails sticking out of the head...
 
Ahahahahaa "shushers". Love it.

These look sweet - I'd consider ordering one, but can't imagine what Canadian customs would make of it.
 
Starting another batch tomorrow if anyone wants in.
