If you're looking for a lower cost option though, look for red or white oak. I've had my white oak staff for about a year now and have had no problems with it.

There's no place like 127.0.0.1

I'm getting a custom made white oak staff. Heavy, but not cumbersome, and durable - also domestic, so not as expensive.

Any hard contact with another weapon is going to cause damage. More so with a bokken because the impact is concentrated. I believe oak holds up a bit better than ash in that regard but it's heavier, while ash will make for a lighter weapon that still has quite a bit of strength..

Gotta love white oak. Now, if I only had the resources to make my own... I have several dozen white oak trees (and some Ash) in my backyard!

This might sound stupid, but my Bo is a former broom stick. It surprisingly can take some pretty hard hits.
