Woodall's Custom Workshop: African Blackwood Nunchaku

[Scorpion Ninja]

My name is Adam and I'm a new member of the forum.  I just wanted to add my praise to the many posts here about Woodall's products.

I've worked out with nunchaku off and on for over 35 years and my experience is with traditional nunchaku.  I've had many types of nunchaku, from home-made out of a broom handle when I was a kid, to mass production, to custom.

I wanted to get new nunchaku and after reading many posts here about Woodall's I decided to make an order.  I received them a couple of days ago.  They are 12" African Blackwood, tapered octagonal, with 5" cord.  They are as nice or nicer than any wooden martial arts weapon I've ever purchased or had made.  Among others, I have weapons from Kingfisher Woodworks and Crane Mountain, including bokken, jo, hanbo, and nunchaku.

I highly recommend Woodall's Custom Workshop.  They will definitely be my choice for future nunchaku purchases.

How do they compare to Prochux because I'm looking for African Blackwood nunchuks but still shopping around?
Thanks:)

Is the African Blackwood brittle or sturdy?

[MrPeabody]

It is not as brittle as Verawood, janka hardness is 2900, Verawood is 4500.
Weight is 88lbs per cubic ft, often thought of as the king of nunchaku wood.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments about our products.  Also for answering others questions when needed.  Yes, we can make the Four Rope option on at least a 1" and great diameter but not smaller as the rope is too think and causes too much stress on the smaller diameter woods.  African Blackwood is our heaviest and hardest wood since Verawood has seemed to gone away for a while. It is not brittle and it is wonderful for strength training.  If you ever have questions please contact us at sales@customworkshop.biz. 

Have a wonderful day,
