The Bo Staff is a traditional Okinawan training tool used in Kobudo style martial arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Not all sizes will be available at all times, so please check the variations to see what is in stock. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e they have a constant diameter throughout their length. These staffs are available in various widths ranging from 1\" to 1,1\/8\" to 1,1\/4\" Please check what is available in stock for purchase. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese particular staffs are made from curly or flamed purpleheart, which has a holographic  pattern in the wood, making these staffs particularly beautiful and rare. The pictures are generic and may not match the exact staff you receive and are generic in nature for that particular curly wood. Some sections of each staff will have more or less of the pattern shown. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flamed pattern will vary, and each will have a different personality. Every staff is completely unique. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese staffs may be of laminated construction or made from solid wood, depending on wood straightness, and availability. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI do not recommend flamed purpleheart for contact purposes due to the fact that the grain is in a wavy pattern and therefore is more susceptible to chipping upon contact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1\" Staffs are best used for solo use, speed training, and tournaments. If you have need of a contact staff, please purchase one of the wider varieties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1,1\/8 Staffs are able to be used for contact but also have some maneuverability as well. These are the best all-around sticks able to be used for everything.,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1,1\/4 Staffs are the workhorses of the dojo. They are slower than the other widths but are best for contact for their weight. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese staffs are finished with several coats of Linseed and Beeswax oil, which causes the purpleheart to have a rich dark purple color. The oil gives it a permanent shine while allowing the users hands to slip effortlessly up and down the staff, which is required for proper technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor all shipping information, including shipping times, costs, and carrier information please click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.scrapwoodmartialarts.com\/pages\/shipping-information-and-costs\" title=\"Shipping information and cost\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-Adam\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*If you have any questions or would like to request a custom order, please send all correspondence to scrapwoodmartialarts@gmail.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDISCLAIMER: The user assumes and accepts any and all risks and responsibilities in handling any purchased staffs.
