Exotic wood Nunchaku

Exotic WoodsI’ve been working away at getting the new stock ready for this coming weekend.  So far everything is a go.  This time we will have Red Oak, Cocobolo, African Blackwood and Locust.  The weather here has been horrible and the wood shop has been cold but things are moving along well.  All of the blanks are being shaped and the toxic stuff has been cut.  Most people don’t know that the cocobolo dust is very toxic.  We have to wear masks when cutting it as it becomes hard to breath and the air literally turns maroon.  In the end it is well worth the time put into them as the cocobolo tend to feature some of the most beautiful wood grains.  This time I have a few pieces that feature the pulp wood from the cocobolo which is a lighter color and makes for the wonderful finish mixed with the dark red colors.

Locust Wood Nunchaku
From tree to block the Locust wood is cut down to make nunchaku.

African Blackwood is our newest exotic wood type.  It has taken the place of the ebony which has become impossible to find in sizes we can use.  It has a dark to pitch black color and is very dense and heavy.  The grain is very fine much like the ironwood we also use.  This makes for an overall dense heavy nunchaku which comes alive when it’s weight gets put into motion.

Stop back on Sunday morning to usanunchaku.com and check out the new arrivals.

  1. Having read this I believed it was very enlightening.
    I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this information together.
    I once again find myself personally spending way too much time both reading and posting comments.
    But so what, it was still worthwhile!

  2. This design is spectacular! You certainly know how to keep a reader amused.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well,
    almost…HaHa!) Excellent job. I really enjoyed what you
    had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!

  3. Hello There. I found your blog using msn. This is an extremely well written article.
    I will be sure to bookmark it and return to read more
    of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I will certainly return.

  4. Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment
    but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up.
    Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say
    great blog!

  5. Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you
    wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could
    do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that,
    this is wonderful blog. A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back.

  6. I’ve been browsing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like
    yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and
    bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  7. When someone writes an paragraph he/she maintains the
    thought of a user in his/her mind that how a user can be aware of it.
    Therefore that’s why this piece of writing is outstdanding.

    Thanks!

  8. My brother suggested I might like this web site. He was entirely right.
    This post actually made my day. You can not imagine
    just how much time I had spent for this information!
    Thanks!

  9. Hello there I am so excited I found your blog, I
    really found you by error, while I was looking on Bing for something else, Anyhow I am here now and would just like to say thank you for a tremendous post and a all round interesting blog
    (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to look
    over it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added in your
    RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a great deal more, Please do keep up the great job.
