Suburito in Katori Shinto Ryu style

Here is one of my ideas, because I saw that some members of the Koryu community prefer to customize their bokken, personally I do not know much about this style, but any additional information is welcome, if you know more about it  feel free to pass the info and I will publish.

This form is not only related to Katori school (I think), but  sometimes could be seen on some Nihonto koshirae as well.

Suburito was made from european heavy oak, is oiled and as you could see it have beautiful look.

Kashima Shin Bokuto, hornbeam wood

Here is picture's of another Kashima Shin Ryu bokken which is made from hornbeam wood.

Like last one, this is also made by original dimensions, but with even more perfection in finishing,  hope that you will like it, and that you will see difference on this photos.

It is possible to make you custom Kashima Shin bokken in many ways, wood choice, weight choice and also by different dimensions.

in this picture you can see that the Tsuba is made by laminating three pieces of wood, which prevents any kind of damage.

Fact that the lamination is done similarly as with plywood, which means that the fibers on the middle layer disposed transversely with relatio to the outer layer, this requires to Tsuba must additionally dried for another month, because cross-laid layers of wood reacts differently and after a month, final correction is needed to obtain a stable tsuba.

    as you can see in the picture below, Tsuba fits real tight and precise, so that tsuba dome is not required, but you can put it on just for decoration
