Aikido set Kake

Dear Aikidoka's,


after long time here is some more of my work, I never stop make this things but because some problems (which is part of life), I was not able to work only this.


So here is one of  Kake (stand/rack) for Aikido set, customer wanted to add the Kanji symbol on every item, to have personalized equipment.


Stand was made from european oak, just treated with transparent varnish to preserve the natural color of wood. Kanji is handmade with wood burning iron.





the stand is not glued, so it can always be disassembled

Aikido bokken with burning Kanji

Dear  Aikidoka's,

Here is some more personal bokken's idea

Unique Tanto

Dear Budo friends, 

here's something for those looking for something unique and special. 
From time to time appears some interesting piece of wood with interesting texture, this is one of them. It is not always easy to do something similar, and these pieces require long-term preparation, this Tanto was made about three years, in order to stabilize the wood,  to avoid subsequent reactions, such as cracking or bending. Working layer by layer and wait a reaction of wood, when wood stops responding, you can complete the job. So here it is Art of Nature, 100% unique, ideal for gift to someone special.
