Did you make something? Do you want the fleeting rush of endorphins that come with affirmation from strangers? Do you think what you made is neat? Share it here!

Paintings, movies, music, drawings, models, gardens, houses, snowmen, sandcastles - if you made it, you can post it.

RULES:

Some things you make are not to be shared. These include:

Do not be a jerk.

- No racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, or bigotry of any kind.

- Don't try to sell stuff unless people ask. You can post your Etsy (or similar) if someone prompts you. No spamming self-promotion.

Table saw to get straight sides. Belt sander to get a curve to the blade tip.

The spine doesn’t have a curve like a traditional bokken, but that doesn’t keep me from tucking this bad boy into my belt loop and walking around the house like a samurai :)

Paper Phenolic makes an excellent bokken material. I have a set. Hanbo and bo are also amazing.

Those are some really interesting looking bokken on that site. I’d never heard of paper phenolic before, but now I’d love to get my hands on some and see what it’s like to cut and sand.

Domo arigato gozaimasu!
