Here's the third bokken I've made, a wakizashi. Generally, this isn't used much in kenjutsu or kendo. Its only used in two sword techniques, which are not usually practiced frequently.
This starts in the shop the same as the others, a lamination. In this case it was two pieces of white oak.
The final product. Much straighter than a bokken.

Even though that is clearly just a couch or something behind it, I actually think the pictures look awesome. The lighting is just right and makes it look like a very costly piece of art or something.
