Makiwara Board

Where can I buy, or how I can make a good makiwara board?

Not a bad one as far as they go. It may or may not be cheaper to build one on your own. I would google the process and see for yourself.

I bought mine off eBay. A little stiff, but good quality.

The eBay makiwara looks nice and it would be nice to have an indoor makiwara, but it's too pricey for me. I used these instructions: http://www.24fightingchickens.com/2005/09/29/all-about-makiwara/ and have built my own.

I'm on my third or fourth post, but that's over about 11 years in Maine weather. I used to have a maki pad like the one mentioned in the first reply. It shook whole house when I hit it and after just a little while the foam was too compressed to provide any cushion.

I've seen makiwara like these, http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM3486928302P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM3486928302 , which may be an ok choice for an indoor striking pad.

Thanks, I have a few ideas now.
