Sword Making Tutorial Make Your Own Gladius
#58
Byron just any decent hardwood but white oak or red would be fine. It is what some boken and waster practice weapons are made of.

I use Jarrah which is not only rock hard it is easy to work and has a deep beautiful reddish hue and lovely grain. You can get good scrap bits from discarded furniture as well.

cheers!
