Dojo wall Kake, second version

Dear Budo friends,

On this pictures you could see few wall stands made for Bujinkan Seishin Dojo Croatia, located in Zagreb (capital city of Croatia), Dojo Cho is Shihan Dean Rostohar.
Stand was made from lime tree wood, sens this wood have nice light color and it is strong but not too heavy.

The stands are made in three different widths, while the length is same and 16 items can be placed on each stand.
As you can see the broad rack is for a long items shuch are Yari, Naginata, long sticks, the middle rack is for items like swords middle size sticks, and the narrow rack is for a short items like is tanto, jitte, tessen etc.

The specificity of this version is a sample seen from the side, while the dimensions, such as the width and number of tools that can be display on the rack, could be made by your request.

Aikido buki set kake

Dear budo friends,

here is another desk or floor stand for swords or for your buki. This one is made of solid oak which is easy to assemble or disassemble into the basic parts.

As you can see in this case, the stand is personalized to the customer's wishes, it have Kanji symbols made by burniing iron.

The stand is lacquered with a transparent mat laqer,  this highlights the natural color of wood.
This version of the stand seems to be perfect for Aikido practitioners and their basic set (bokken, Jo and tanto), butaslso could be good for daito, shoto and tanto.

few pic. of disassemble stand, that show way of conection before stand was finished and during making, to show perfection of wood joint. Hope you like it:

This is first prototype of wooden Tanegashima for practice, it was made from heavy oak, laquered with transparent laquer.
