Wooden Weapons

Hi Cosplayers. I was referred to you by r/LARP. I’ve been making wooden sabres for the past few years for martial arts practice. I thought the LARPers might be interested but they told me wooden weapons are a no go.

I’m wondering if there’s an interest in the cosplay community.

I’m an artist and my artistic mandate is to use as much recycled and reclaimed materials as possible. These sabres are made from surplus flooring, old table tops and shop scraps. The handles are weighted with used automotive wheel weights.

They’re finished with pure boiled linseed oil and after that cures a paste wax made from the same oil and spent bees wax candles finishes things off.

What do you think?
