What wood is this bokken made of? It kind of worries me that it is not listed in the description.

It's made of cheap twisted wood. If you are worried about the kind of wood, don't waste your money in this.

The wood looks like oak or ash, both of which are very hard woods. It is smooth and solid so there is very little concern for splintering. I hope this is helpful.

Not quite an answer but a further request.. has anyone ordered several of this item? I want to know if the manufacturer/ material would be consistent before thinking about using these as budget trainers. I'd rather take a hit in the wallet than introduce something that could splinter into a real problem.

I'm not sure but it look like oak, it dense and some how heavy. It is cheap to make to the shape and not professional cure so it has tendency to bend . Mines are painted with dark brown color to cover the eye or to look like an expensive hardwood. One of them are bend. it is good to swing but not for hit to each other.

It's wood and I treated it as such WITH several coats of linseed oil. I love the knife.David Jones

I don't know what type of wood it is, but behaves rather like alder in that it took a cherry stain well, to look rich, bringing out the grain of the wood. It appears to be a medium hardness and has held up well as a night stand.

I will ask my husband tomorrow but I think it is solid wood. We saw it at Raymore and Flannigan first. And then ordered it online due to it being less money on line.

It is in our lake house....so I don't have it here to double check to be sure, but I am almost certain it is solid wood. It turned out really nice....have gotten lots of compliements on it....very solid piece.

I'm not sure since it's painted. Some kind of pre-fabricated wood I imagine.

I'm pretty sure it IS solid wood. It's a very heavy piece. Ours did come with a broken piece of wood, but I contacted the company and they sent a replacement. I really like it & use it everyday and it seems durable.

No idea. Since it is not an expensive item, it may be pressed-wood, but it looks good, and is sturdy. I am very happy with it.

It is solid wood, but I do not know what kind. The company rep. was very helpful, and would probably answer your questions.

The wood is cocobolo. I returned this product due to unnatural imperfections in manufacture and finishing.

I cannot believe that was someone's serious concern. It is painted wood. It is plywood, pine most likely with several coats of paint and it looks great even after much use. Hope you were not wanting teak or ebony at that price.

I have no idea what kind of wood it is, but it IS wood. I LOVE this thing! I even use it to mash avocados to make guacamole.

The pic that is on amazon is pretty close to the color of the wood. I'm not sure what kind of wood it is but I would guess it is a white wood like pine and it is clear finish in natural/unstained color. I would call it a light tan color and it is a soft grain wood.

Mine was wood. It is an amazing stick for the $. I've casted $700 fiberglass noodles that weren't as nice as this. I picked it up on a whim because it was so cheap. Best 3/4 wt I own and a 12" brookie feels like a monster on it. I use it with a rio 4 wt line and absolutely love it!

The wood is natural color. I don't know what kind of wood it is because was not in the specification. Might be spruce, just guessing, but it looks good.

I don't know. I'm new to guitars. The description says linden bindings so it could be linden wood. It's lighter than I expect, so probably a cheap thin wood.
