Wood selection for handmade blade

merlin el mago · Apr 6, 2020

Wood selection for handmade blade, I know a man can make me for not enough money a handmade combi blade, I'm push-blocker LP one side & looper-attack inverted hard the other side. What about the wood & thickness selection:

Kiri 3/3.2mm (center)

Attack side
Spruce 0.8mm
Limba 0.6mm

Defense side
Balsa 1.mm or Willow
Limba 0.6mm

Total 6mm width & 85/87gr

I'm looking for a blade to play with the BH LP close to the table blocking & chop blocking & with the FH driving & looping not choping.

TIA
Felipe

Limba it's the outside veneer in both sides of blade.

There are custom blade makers here in the forum. Why not pm them?

Hipnotic mentioned where he gets his materials including hinoki, I suggest searching through his thread.

merlin el mago · Apr 8, 2020

Thank you. I checked all topic & can't see where to buy hinoki, only one link to buy fiber.

I never found a source for hinoki in Europe. If you find one I also would love to know.

Is that hipnotic's work?

Really nice!

Shouldn't you have a homemade blade approved by Ittf?

Ittf has nothing to your blade.
I know top female players from dont know with special injected liquid metal into handle or even In headsize.
First u use driller with slight drill bit and inject liquid into holes.
Next u use black paste and Sand edges with handle.

For me the most exclusive material used in blade is rosewood+ Hinoki combination

We have rosewood the problem is sourcing hinoki here in Europe if a Japanese member can source will be done without problems.

Indeed it will be a problem to find it in Europe. Isn't Alibaba a solution?

I asked Alibaba sellers & sent messages to companies but still today no answer.

Metaxa · Apr 19, 2020

Can't you do something like that?
