For $18. This is NOT white oak at all.
These are supposed to be wax impregnated or wax wood, but I just keep them dry and wipe them down after each use with a cloth. I wouldn't put a seal on it.
No, but that's something you can always work on. All you need is a little athletic tape. The baseball bat tape is not something I would use. Simply because it would wear off with repeated use, and sports tape is much less expensive. You could also consider simply getting. Lowe's/Home Depot has a 1 inch dowel rod that will fit your high and is just as durable. 5 foot and taller 5 foot bu staff is the rule of thumb. 6 foot bu staff for people who are 6 feet tall or taller. I hope this information is useful.
Because it's primarily used for practice and training, I'm guessing it'll break if pushed too hard.

What else can be said about this bo staff besides the fact that it is a fantastic weapon? In one night, I managed to defeat all of my foes. When the battle was over, I summoned the monkey king by accident, and he challenged me to a duel. My rightful place on the monkey throne has been established.
The weight and thickness of a bo designed for training versus one built for combat or hard sparring are the main differences. Start with something less strenuous until your wrists and muscles are used to the rigors of fast, sustained use. That's exactly what this one is for. It's light and lively as a feather. In the hand, the waxy finish is pleasant.
I would (and have) purchased this product again. It appears to be a turned waxwood staff that is very smooth, and it shipped quickly and arrived in good condition. I've used waxwood in martial arts before, and it's usually saplings with bumps and irregularities from natural growth. This is fine, and I've enjoyed similar staves in the past. This one, on the other hand, has been turned down on a lathe and is completely smooth, which I believe will be ideal for my spear. It glides through my fingers with ease, but I miss the bumps of the natural, unturned staves. br>I placed a second order and will see if it arrives safely as well. You can wet them down and straighten them out if they're too bent when they arrive.
I placed an order for two staves. One was in good condition when it arrived, while the other had a large warp. I laid the warped staff flat in the hopes that it would straighten as it became accustomed to my environment and humidity, but it only appears to have warped further. I've owned waxwood staves before and have never had this problem. I've contacted the seller, and I'm hoping they can come up with a solution or make things right.
It was delivered in perfect order! It's also very smooth, which makes changing hand positions a breeze. For hiking, I added a 7/8" cane tip to the end. It was a squeaky-clean squeeze. It's a great piece of wax wood! Because it is strong and flexible, the Chinese have used it to make weapons for millennia. I'd like to add a spearhead to the top of the spear. This was on YouTube, and I thought it was interesting. I'll use a hack saw blade to cut a thin track and a piece of sharpened metal (wood strapping and an angle grinder) to wedge it in place. Then drill a bolt through and secure it with a wing nut by hand. A spear head can be purchased on Amazon, but I'm thinking about making my own. I am extremely pleased with my purchase!.
I've been doing martial arts on and off for a few years and have only recently decided to learn how to use a bo properly. This one was ideal, with the ideal balance of strength, flexibility, and weight (at least for a beginner). It's been a few weeks since I've been using it, and it's getting better every day. br>br>And yes, it had a couple of small dings and a slight warp (unless you order plastic or fiberglass wood, which will have natural imperfections). To correct the small bend, I simply sanded the entire stick lightly, stained and oiled as needed, and clamped it to a straight surface. It fits perfectly in my hands right now, and it's been a great addition to my workout routine thus far.
It's a good length and weight, but it's not even close to being straight when I unboxed it. It's a little crooked. There are also nine deep scratches on it. This is a home practice bow. br>br> I'm sure it'd get scratched anyway over time, but the warping is a disappointment:.
I'll use it as a spear shaft, and it'll be perfect. With my height of 6 feet 3 inches, I was able to carry the spear head above my head. I finished it with a coat of orange oil and beeswax. I'm thinking about staining the next one. There were a few blemishes, but that's to be expected with wood. This is true for all wood. It appeals to my tastes.
