The second batch for 2016 are going to be great! I’m featuring three woods this time, red oak, cocobolo and locust. The red oak is from our new local importer that has given me great access to the warehouse and lets me pick my own stock. This time we had a bonus, new cocobolo uncut! I grabbed some to add to this batch because it’s so hard to find to the right sizes. My third feature this time is Locust. This is from a tree in my back yard that landed in my pool 2 winters ago during a freak snow storm in the north east that knocked down trees everywhere here in PA because the leaves were still on the trees when the snow hit. You will not find Locust wood nunchaku anywhere else, period. These are 100% from Central Pennsylvania, USA milled from the raw tree, by us and turned into nunchaku. These are my second favorite colors of natural hardwoods.
When finished the nunchaku will be a olive color with rich grain patterns. This first batch was milled in 2014 so I’m excited to get back to this and get some more Locust wood nunchaku ready for the store.
We have just finished up the first of the raw locust wood blanks so look for them in the shop in the coming weeks.
We have gotten some requests for special woods to be fashioned in the last month. I’ve decided to start setting up polls for our customers to submit their favorites and wood choices they would like to see featured next in our online store. Wood Request page
