Wood selection for handmade blade

[merlin el mago]

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?

 

[merlin el mago]

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

 

[merlin el mago]

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.

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

Not, work done by mine friend Jose Silva from Catalonia.

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]

Can't you do something like that?
